1 Peter 4:16
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
There are thousands of Cubs fans. I am not one of them, “Go Brewers!”, but they are out there. Day in and day out they are so very proud to wear that logo. From the first pitch to last out, no matter what the outcome of the game they are true to the Chicago Cubs. A few years ago, their fan base increased because they were on a winning streak as a matter of fact they took it all the way to the World Series 11 times, but in 2016 after a 108 year drought, they won for the third time. All of a sudden, fans came out of nowhere. Nowhere, that is the optimal word right now. This year was a “rebuilding year” which is a baseball way of saying, “We are terrible, but we are trying to find the right formula to make us better.” Where are all those 2016 fans now? Nowhere!
Our nation has faced many tragedies. One more recent one was in 2011. Terrorist had the nerve to attack us on our own soil. After the twin towers came down and the Pentagon was hit, we saw churches overflow. Everyone was singing God Bless America. God had fans coming out of nowhere. Years have passed and Christianity has been labeled the intolerant bad guys of society. We are ridiculed, made fun of, taken to court, and yes, even killed for our proud support of God. However, some of us are still ready to wear that logo. Where are all of those 2011 fans now? Nowhere! Where are you? Where does your loyalty stand?
Lord, I stand with You! Thank You for always standing with me! ~amen
