“Talk is cheap, like daydreams and other useless activities. Fear God instead.” Ecclesiastes 5:7
I grew up playing basketball. I loved playing and often would find myself at a basketball court until late at night. The courts I’d go to were packed with people playing and waiting to play in the next game. When a game finished the winning team would play the next team that was put together by a “captain” that got to pick his players. During this process you had all kind of people jumping in the “captains” face screaming, ‘pick me, pick me, pick me’. But there were always other people that wanted to play but weren’t obnoxiously screaming the guys face. They were simply on the court shooting and making shot after shot. This is what the captain wanted to see. He wasn’t putting together a debate team full of people that can talk a lot, he was putting together a basketball team and he wanted proven people that he knew could play basketball. God is doing the same thing. He’s not looking for people that say they are Christians to everyone. He’s looking to see who the actual Christians are. He’s looking for the ones that actually fear Him more than their classmates, a reputation, or a sport.
