It’s said that when a team is not living up to expectations, that the most popular member of the team is the second-string quarterback. And, when you’re the Denver Broncos and you’re losing, your backup quarterback is a folk hero and a college football legend – well, it makes the plot all the more interesting. Yes, the admirable, unflappable Tim Tebow has been warming the bench in Denver, waiting for an opportunity. When starter Kyle Orton flopped during the first half Sunday against San Diego, coach John Fox played the Tebow card in the second half and the former Gator led his team to a second-half comeback, almost defeating the Chargers.
Fox is still non-committal on whether or not he’ll start Tebow in the Broncos’ next game, in Florida one week from Sunday against Miami. The fans have made their choice known, chanting “Tebow! Tebow!” as his final pass that would have given the Broncos the victory fell incomplete in the end zone.
As ESPN attempts to put Hank Williams, Jr. in the rear-view mirror, Tebow talk has become a major item from the world of sports…and a source of inspiration for us.
God is faithful, and He is the one who determines the call for our lives – we may want to do something for God, and that desire may be God-inspired, but He is the One who will bring it to pass in His perfect timing. In the meantime, we are instructed to be faithful, growing in the grace and knowledge of God, and when there is an opportunity for Him to use us, we will be ready – in fact, He may not open doors until we are ready.
