"Held Up"
Randall Cobb's 2nd TD Ties NFL Record For Kickoff Yards in NFL Debut
Remember when everyone was whining about the NFL kick return rule change? Well, those people aren't exactly wrong, but Packers' rookie Randall Cobb just proved that return specialists are still relevant, running back a kickoff for a 108-yard touchdown, tying Ellis Hobbs' NFL record.
Cobb's return is infinitely more impressive than Hobbs' (coincidence that they have such similar names? No, I say) for two reasons: obviously, the rule change that has kickoffs coming form the 35 yard line instead of the 30, and the fact the he was pretty much freaking tackled. At one point, in fact, Cobb was pretty much tackled. He was spun down to the ground, but John Kuhn caught him, held him up, and pushed him along. Once that happened, Cobb was off to the races, showcasing the speed that made him such a dangerous receiver last year at Kentucky.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (ESV)
9Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. 10For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
What does today's Gods Story scripture teach us about lifting up another?
Did you catch that statement near the end of Today's Story?
Here it is again, At one point, in fact, Cobb was pretty much tackled. He was spun down to the ground, but John Kuhn caught him, held him up, and pushed him along. Once that happened, Cobb was off to the races ...
Had it not been for John Kuhn, that record touchdown may never have happened. Randall Cobb needed John Kuhn to be there - in the right place, at the right time - to do what he did. We need others in our life to help us up when we stumble. When we are running full-speed ahead, we need others right there with us to keep us on track. When the enemy is surrounding us to tackle us from all sides, we need others around us. Today's scripture reminds us of these truths very clearly.
How can I connect today's God's Story scripture to My Life?
- Thank God for Him being there when you stumble in your relationship with Jesus.
- Do you have someone in your life to catch you when you fall? If not, ask God who in your life might be that person.
How can I connect Today's Story, My Story, and God's Story to Others?
- Did you answer yes to the question about having someone in your life to catch you? If so, get together with them this weekend and thank them.
- Is there someone in your life who is running full-speed ahead and you fear they could be getting out of control? Find a way to come alongside them in order to help them if they fall.
