The Ultimate Coach - Why is God on Top?

Updated: Sep 14

Why is God on top?  We assume because He bears the name God and therefore, He should be on top.   There are many coaches, bosses, teachers, pastors who believe that they can make better decisions than God, and that they want to control their life because either they only trust themselves, or because they cannot trust anyone else including God.

 

I grew up distrusting authority. I was compelled to walk my path and to figure things out (flesh) on my own. I believed I could conquer whatever I wanted to, but then the reality of life set in. Things did not always go my way. I did not have caring and loving relationships because I did not trust others.

 

One of the most famous Psalms in the Bible is Psalm 19.   I want to highlight one verse for you today and that is verse 8, which says, “The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes”

 

Now let’s focus on just two words “are right”.  The Hebrew word for right is “yasar”.   Yasar means straight, upright, correct, right.  Notice how the lines on the triangle are straight. Remember, we don’t operate with straight lines. They contain mountains and valleys.  My mountain was based on distrust, self-reliance and pride.  But God’s statutes are straight and those who abide in them will also become straight because God’s word is pure and true and trustworthy and “are right”.  

 

To allow God to transform your live is to come into agreement with HIS word, to study His commandments and live a life that agrees with His perfect commands.   We become straight with God and naturally all relationships come into the “right”relationships that are loving, compassionate, trusting and loyal, the way we all want.

 

FC Grace’s mission to be the vehicle for delivering God’s loving message to you, to football and other coaches around the world so that we can all have “right” relationship with God.  Grab his word, trust in Him, open your heart and become straight with Him.
