Tebow: Religious show or Da Truth

So much to muse on this week but the Tebow phenomenon is the topic of choice. Living in a world of self-made men, where God's name is given voice to appear humble when victorious; Tebow is a great cup of tea. With Tebow, God isn't a genie in a bottle or frosting on the cake-God is life and victory for him. Tebow has a deep realization that his time in preparation and prowess as a football player are just part of his fulfilling his life purpose. His life is for God's glory. Admittedly, his praise song singing and open prayer seem ostentatious and better done in private; but the truth is Tebow does those things for him, more than he does it for us. The praise songs lift and lighten his spirit; prayer clears his head. Many criticize his show of faith, but Tebow needs to do what helps him succeed. I think the reason his overt, righteous ways don't sit well with us has to do with the failures of many who have worn their religion on their sleeves. I believe Tebow's rise is not on accident. His Justin Bieber-like peak has placed God front and center-for all to see. The transforming impact faith can have is evident to all and more importantly, many are forced to consider just how different their lives could be for placing their faith in God's power. I thank God for the impact of Tebow's life, more than his show of faith. I understand that were he not willing to show his Christianity; God wouldn't be the talking point of the world right now.
