John's ministry

"And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him." " - John 3:26

Have you been overlooked, or have been 'side lined'? I'm used to hearing people giving the glory to God in victory, like many of the faithful Christians in collegiate and professional sports, but I was touched by Colt McCoy, a quarterback of the University of Texas after they lost the National Championship game. Colt was side lined early in the game and was unable to finish or contribute to his last game as in college. I see the heart of John in Colt when he said:

" ... Always give God the glory... I never questioned why things happen the way they do... God is in control of my life... and I know that... I'm standing on the Rock."

John was at the top of his game. Like John, Colt was able to step aside and give God the glory despite being in 'shadows' all game. Praise the Lord.
