Tim Tebow - A Portrait of Thanksgiving

It's tough not to be a Tebow fan today.  Perhaps the next loss will dim some of the shine of the past 8 weeks of his quarterback leadership, but win, lose, or draw...I'm a fan. 

Here's why.

"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus" (1 Thessalonians 5).

Tebow gets this.  He also expresses it.  Keep kneeling; keep pointing up, Tim!

His kneeling or pointing to the sky has nothing to do with God helping him to win games.  As many others have observed, there are always followers of Christian faith on both sides of the scrimmage line.

But it has everything to do with a thankful heart.

If anyone would explore this with young Tim, they'd understand that he's developed a habit which is the will of God for every Christ follower.  He understands what Scripture says.  Our lives, our moments, are in God's hands.  He provides every good thing given, every breath, every ounce of strength...even to those who fail to acknowledge that ALL of every right thing in life IS a GIFT.

Psalm 57:9
I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

Lead on, Tim.   Keep pointing us to the One who gave, and gives, it all.
