This photograph was taken at the same time the Philadelphia Eagles were parading up Broad Street, celebrating their Super Bowl win. I wasn’t at the parade, I was wandering my quiet park, celebrating God’s creation.
That isn’t to say I wasn’t excited for the Eagles—I was delighted to see the team do so well! I don’t know much about football, but I was a fan of these guys and I even learned a little football watching them. I loved how they seemed to put their game in perspective. I loved how they celebrated God in their work. There was something special about this team, everyone saw it.
The perspective is God. The work is God. Holding God’s way in the forefront is the way. I have heard those in recovery from drugs and alcohol say that the things they put before their sobriety, they will eventually lose. Their recovery and sobriety always have to be in the forefront of their decisions or their affliction will overcome them and everything they have strived for will be lost. God needs to be before everything. Anything I put before Him I will lose, it will fail. The stuff of this world, the temporal, is temporary. Only God and His plan wins.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31
