Besides, He's more into using Tebow wherever he is.
A friend of mine has a saying "God moves His people around." He does.
Tim Tebow has been good for the Broncos. Their quarterback had the #1 best-selling jersey and he brought Denver much attention in the public square. That's the way it should be with Christians. They should bring blessing.
I recall what Tim once said about football not being the most important thing. He's a wise "young 'un". That's because he has learned wisdom from the Master. When I taught third grade, we used to define wisdom as "seeing things the way God sees them". There are some things that the Bible may not address, but we assume that He included enough to get us through. Tebow is getting through, all right. He puts faith in action to the max and shows uncanny ability to follow God and not man.
Remember that playoff game with the Steelers that got a lot of press? Denver won, but the buzz was all about how they won. You remember. His eyeblack furor put the John 3:16 verse in everyone's mind, and then he racked up 316 yards! So how do YOU explain it? Did Tebow get up that day and decide to get 316 yards? Was it an accident? Even the most stalwart of naysayers had to wonder. They SURE wondered when they found out that he threw 31.6 yards per completion...and the CBS television rating for 8:00-8:15 peaked with a rating of 31.6.
When Tebow took a knee after that,
he was NOT first thanking God for victory. He was first thanking God for glorifying Himself.
And what has happened since? It was pretty remarkable to think God would bring all those figures together so clearly. What would be the mathematical chance? The top three Google searches after the game were John 3:16, Tebow, and Tim Tebow. Not even if "Show Me the Money" Tom Cruise were your agent could you get that coverage.
But it all happened back in January. Have people been stunned and then moved on? How many have turned to explore the God thing?
Of course He is the only one who knows, but He did leave a clue. He had something to say about the "signs" that inflate man's curiosity. In Luke 16:31 "if they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead." Ouch. He knows our fickle hearts.
Now we all are pressed to the news to find out Tim Tebow's destination. We should relax. It is a GUARANTEEE that Tim is listening right now for marching orders from above. Maybe he already has them. But whether it's Denver or Miami or the Phillippines or wherever, it doesn't really matter. The Lord is the Quarterback with the plan. He's looking for open receivers and He's found one in Tim Tebow.
