Who Will You Choose?
The NFL Season has begun ... well at least the pre-season.
Many will be following their team. (GO COLTS!!) Others will be following a different kind of team ... their "Fantasy Football Team." Fatasy Football has changed the way many view the game. They sign up on-line, draft their own team and compete against others in their own on-line league. At the prompting of my own football player son, I have decided to dive into the world of Fatasy Football for the first time. I will watch the pre-season differently this year as I decide on whom I should choose for my own Fatasy Football Team. I'm making a list this weekend as we prepare for our draft.

Joshua 24:15
And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."
John 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
What does today's God's Story scripture teach us about choosing?
There are many verses throughout God's Story that refer to choosing, but the two listed above are perhaps the most often quoted. Today's verses remind us of two very important aspects of choosing.
1) We are chosen by Jesus and invited to follow him.
2) Following and Serving Him in our life is our Choice.
How can I connect today's God's Story scripture to My Life?
Take some time this weekend to thank God for choosing you first by preparing the way for you to return to Him through a relationship with His Son.
How can I connect Today's Story, My Story, and God's Story to Others?
- Choose 3-5 friends who do not know Jesus, and put them on a "Fantasy List" of sorts.
- Commit to pray for those friends every day throughout this school year.
- Look for ways that you might connect them to God's Story throughout the year.
- Thank God for those connections when they happen.
