‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

Would America be better off with more God-minded people or more football-minded people?

Mychal Massie

Listening to random conversations in church recently, I had the following thought: “Suppose God was more important in the lives of the people of America than is, say…the NFL?”

Suppose some biblical derivation of fantasy football occupied the time and involvement of millions of people as fantasy football does? Recently I observed a group of 10 men of varying ages, pouring over their laptops engaged in fantasy football, as they sat with tables pushed together, at one of my favorite cigar bar and restaurants. Suppose they had been gathered together with their bibles to read and study God’s word instead? Suppose Americans packed into Christ-centered churches every week the way they pack into football stadiums each week? Suppose Americans the nation over, were heard discussing what they had read in the bible, what their pastor had preached and/or how God had answered prayer for them, the way football is discussed wherever one goes?

My point is not that enjoying football is wrong or bad. My point is, what if God were more important to us as a nation than football? That is a valid question because as we observe around us — we see broken lives, broken families, and broken homes. We see the celebration of sinful behavior as not witnessed in modern times.

Ergo the question: “Would America be better off with more God-minded people or more football-minded people?”

READ:
Psalm 33:12-22
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.

14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.

22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
