So, Yesterday, I had a Conversation with my Beautiful Wife and I told Her, that the “Goodhearted” Humans, are Always Playing ON Defense”!! And, I told her, Well I asked Her, Would The Good People Ever Win a Game, “IF” Tom Brady, was Always allowed to Play on Offense????
She seemed Confused and Puzzled; So, I explained: by usage of a “Biblical Parable”!
1 Samuel 17
David and Goliath
17 Now the Philistines gathered their forces for war and assembled at Sokoh in Judah. They pitched camp at Ephes Dammim, between Sokoh and Azekah. 2 Saul and the Israelites assembled and camped in the Valley of Elah and drew up their battle line to meet the Philistines. 3 The Philistines occupied one hill and the Israelites another, with the valley between them.
4 A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span.[a] 5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels[b]; 6 on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. 7 His spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels.[c] His shield bearer went ahead of him….CONT…
I’m sure Y’all, have heard this story! So, I asked MY Pretty/Smart Wife, who seemed not to quite “Get-It”; Still… What “F” little skinny/pretty boy David (The Bible said he was very Pleasant to look upon=Handsome)=What IF, David had been afraid as his brothers and the rest of the Israelites were, and Instead of David’s Playing Offense, Which He/David did, What If, David had also been Afraid and Only played Defense.??? After That, I gave Her Several More “Biblical Parable Examples” of GOD’S Good People, Playing and Going on Offense, like (Moses, and many others) and “She finally Got-It”, but, 95/%–97/% of GOOD, People Just don’t Seem to Want to Play on Offense, Enough…
I use the “SPORTS Analogies” Often Times, AS Even Within my “Copyrighted” Brands of: The “©MAKE-IT, TAKE-IT” Football Game of LIFE, and The “©MAKE-IT, TAKE-IT” Basketball Game of LIFE, the focus upon how Sports Teach/Educate about “Life Skills”.
I also gave HER this Scripture: The statement “faith without works is dead” means that true faith in Christ always produces good works. In James 2:26 we read, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” The context of this verse is found in James 2:14-26.
EVIL/HATRED/DEMONIC DEMONS/BIGOTRY/SATANIC/LUCIFER CONTROLLED PEOPLE, KEEP “KICKING OUR BUTS, BECAUSE WE ALLOW THEM TO ALWAYS BE ON OFFENSE AND WE ARE ALWAYS PLAYING ON DEFENSE; IMAGING MICHAEL JORDAN, OR KAREEM, OR MAGIC TO ALWAYS BE PLAYING ON OFFENSE, OR STEPH Curry, OR “BRON-BRON”, OR THE NEW KID IN SAN ANTONIO TO ALWAYS BE PLAYING ON OFFENSE=WHAT CHANCE DO WE HAVE, IF WE ARE ALWAYS JUST GOING TO BE PLAYING ON DEFENSE???
FINALLY, I TOLD MY WIFE, EVERYBODY HAVE BEEN AFRAID OF TOM BRADY TEAMS, EXCEPT THE “NEW YORK GIANTS”, WHO PROVED TO TOM BRADY, TWICE IN THE “SUPER BOWL”=THEY WERE ALSO PLAYING ON OFFENSE, AND NOT JUST DEFENSE, EVEN THOUGH THEY PLAYED BOTH!! LOL THEY PROVED, THEY (THE GIANTS)=THEY WERE NOT/ARE NOT AFRAID OF THE “BOOGGIE MAN”!!! SMILE!!!
