Pride Before The Fall

You know, I was thinking. I'm not sure how many of you know or even care about the latest things going on with a football player by the name of Terrell Owens. You see T.O. as he is called is probably the best wide receiver in the NFL. The problem is, he knows it and isn't afraid to share his knowledge with the entire world. He has been very boasful over the years and has been extremely critical of his Philadelphia Eagle teammates. The comments and attitudes that he has displayed this year have been disgraceful. To spite all of the warnings that were given to T.O. he just kept on being T.O. Until the Eagles organzation said THAT'S ENOUGH! They then suspended him for the rest of the season. Please understand this man IS a great football player. He IS the best receiver in the game today. He IS a big pain in the neck and the team has decided that he IS NOT going to be part of this team anymore!
So, here's today's application. Are you a team player or are you a lone ranger? Even if you are the best of the best of the best, do you look out for the good of the team first? We all have giftings and talents that we use both in our secular jobs as well as in our service to God (questionable if those two thoughts should be separte). Sometimes we even rise to the top and are outstanding above all of our peers, but are we a team player? Do we first look out for the benefit of those around us or do we want all of the glory for ourselves? Do something for someone else today. Be a servant in the area that you are indeed a master. Show some love to someone who isn't very loveable and give God all of the glory. Be blessed beyond belief today!
