Tebow Time!

My voice is hoarse from all the screaming. My ears still feel plugged up and half-deaf from all the noise of the stadium.

Just yesterday, we were considering selling our play-off game tickets for the money, but deep down, we knew it would be fun regardless of the outcome. After all, it was our Christmas present to each other. Looking back, I’m so glad we went!!!!

Maybe I’m over-spiritualizing it a tad, but there’s something to this Tim Tebow/Broncos winning phenomenon. We’ve seen enough of the come-from-behind wins this season to realize there’s something happening behind the scenes. Enough miracles have happened during the games to warrant the phrase “Mile High Magic.” I’m not sure it’s as much about magic as it is about Jesus. Seriously, people.

Maybe He just wants some attention. Maybe He’s using America’s past-time to get it. Maybe He knows He can trust Tim Tebow to help Him.

Tim Tebow is not a “pretty” player by any means. So when our wins defy talent, explanation, and expectations, it seems that “God’s power is being perfected in weakness.”

“For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

A couple of weeks ago, a Miami Dolphins player was actually quoted as saying that Tebow was so “anointed” on the field that his teammates could feel it and recognized God’s hand was at work. Many of the players have started going to church as a result.

So now the Broncos have done it again. God’s done it again.  This game tonight was the most amazing one we have ever been to. We don’t know what’s going to happen next week against the Patriots, but somehow, as our punter said, we know God is in control. It’s all for His glory anyway.

Look at this video….I started recording a couple of minutes after the game was over and we had won in overtime 29-23, and the stadium was still full and rocking. It was absolutely insane. Strangers were hugging and high-fiving.

I just keep thinking….Here are 75,000 people praising the Broncos.

The Bible says that someday every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord. How incredible will that be?
