I love football, even though I cannot play well. I can spare the time to watch a football match, especially when my favourite team is playing. I just love the thrill; the tackles, the dribbles, the touches, the passes and most importantly, the goals. It’s really very exciting and helps me release the so-called endorphins.
Two things, amongst many, spark my curiosity each time I think about the beautiful game of football. One is how twenty people will busy running after one little object. The second, and the navel of my meditation, is how one man’s decision affects the course of the game. The role of the referee in a football match can neither be overemphasized nor overlooked.
Let me stop to ask: Who has the final say in the things that concern you? Who calls the shots in your life? The one who calls the shot in your life decides your starting and your ending, your pause and play and your goals in life.
I have a Referee who calls the shots of my life. He is the author and the finisher of my life’s pages. He wrote the scripts and played the movie of my life before I acted one scene. He is my beginning and my ending. I call Him Jehovah!
WHO IS YOUR REFEREE?
Yours truly,
