It is encouraging to see the number of professional football players who are Christians and give public testimony of their faith. It is even more encouraging to see many of these give intelligent, gracious, humble interviews and demonstrate Jesus’s character. I recently heard one NFL quarterback say that because of the platform that God had given him, he needed to be faithful and use it to glorify Jesus and attract people to his savior. Many of us don’t have the same platform as famous athletes, but we must be faithful to every opportunity God gives us. I believe that we all get many, many opportunities to be a witness for Jesus, divine appointments,  but we miss them; they come and go because we aren’t looking for them. They come and go because we are distracted by the things in the world, we miss them because we are timid and don’t want to influence someone to Jesus, and we miss them because we aren’t committed to being a witness for Jesus, so we aren’t looking for them. It is like the fellow who goes hunting and doesn’t see a single deer when they are all around him. Jesus said,” Lift your eyes and look on the white fields for harvest.” Look, look closely, look expectantly. Looking to see.
