I don’t know a lot about football, but I do know who Tim Tebow is. When I think of Tim Tebow, I think Christian. I may not know him personally, but everything I have seen from him indicates to me that he is a Christian and wants everyone to know it. In fact, I watched football last year just to observe how he acted in a game and to see the verses in his black paint for myself. The following article talks about the new Tim Tebow shoes that will be coming out from Nike.

One heel of the shoe will have the word “promise” after the speech he gave following a game loss. In the speech, he promised that they would never see anyone work harder than he would the rest of the season.  He took a setback and turned it into a stepping stone.  I noticed there was controversy online as to whether or not the Tebow speech should have been immortalized on the stadium wall as it was.  I believe the reason it caught the attention of people is simply the positive reaction he had to a negative.  As Christians, people are always watching to see how we handle disappointments and setbacks. They are watching to see if we act like everyone else when that time comes.  Do we display negative emotion or do we display grace?  Tim Tebow displayed grace and determination.  (You can read the speech by googling “Tim Tebow promise speech”)

What about you?  When people think of you, do they think Christian?  Do your actions show everyone that you truly are a Christian? How do you react to setbacks?  Do you act like the world or do you strive to act like Jesus would?

Sometimes, life is all about perception. How do you see things?  How do others see you?  If Nike contacted you to make a shoe for you, what would they write on it?  It’s something to think about.
