God Is Your Goalie

One of my former college students used to play for the school’s soccer team. She invited me to her games every season: “Professor, you have to come to one of the games! You have to!”

Soccer’s not my thing, but I still went to support her.

Of the several positions on a soccer team, I only know one—the goalie. The goalie’s job is to stop the opposing team from scoring a goal. The goalie is the last line of defense.

So, when the opposing team tries to score a goal, the goalie’s job is to block it.

When the enemies of chaos, dysfunction, worry, and evil try to score against you, God will be your Goalie. God is your defense. God will block it.
