Superbowl MVP (Most Valuable Prayer)
The battle for NFL supremacy is over for another year, my Christian brethren. I know all of my readers watched the game last night (football is God's chosen sport), so I won't go into details and discussions of the game. The real thing to talk about is the example that these burly, Godly men set for us. Clearly, God blessed the Indianapolis Colts last night, and gave them His special favor. And why not? Chicago, as I understand it, is a bastion of sin in the midwest, populated by fornicators and pederasts. People in Indianapolis, on the other hand, do not even have sex! Blessed art thou, Indiana.
But I digress. The Colts, being blessed by God Almighty, trounced the Bears (led by quarterback Rex Grossman, who was clearly beset by devils. Nothing else could explain his poor play). Immediately upon victory the Colts players began attributing the win to the Lord Jesus, and rightly so. As it says in Psalms 44:6-8, "I do not trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but You give us victory over our enemies, You put our adversaries to shame. In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise Your name forever."
The lesson here is clear, brothers and sisters in Christ: the only way to be successful in this world is to accept God's help in all things. Acts 26:22 states, "But I have had God's help to this very day, and so I stand here and testify to small and great alike."
Kudos to the Colts players for acknowledging their complete lack of skill, talent or drive. It is only through the will of God that they were able to achieve this victory, and they're smart enough to realize that! I only wish that more people applied this principle in their lives. When is the last time that you went to a McDonald's and heard the counter person say, "By the grace and goodness of God, He has aided me in preparing this Quarter Pounder with Cheese and this 6-piece McNuggets for you. Have a nice day." It would be so refreshing to hear someone say something like this is everyday life. I actually spend about 5 hours of each day thanking God for helping me to do everything, including thanking Him, but thus far no one that I have encountered has followed my example. I assume that God has hardened their hearts, just as He did with Pharaoh when Moses sought to free the Israelites.
At any rate, take this example of the Colts, fellow Stormtroopers of God, and spread it everywhere you go. Thank God, openly, loudly and publicly, for completing a sales report at work. For not burning your toast in the morning. For not missing the bowl in the middle of the night. For choosing the right fork at a nice restaurant. Thank Him for every single success you have, and you will be blessed!

As for that asexual, petite fop Prince prancing around the stage, if that is what passes for entertainment today, the Rapture can't come soon enough! He did rock 'Purple Rain' though.
