FROM FIFTH TO FIRST
Charlie Waters, former strong safety for the Dallas Cowboys football team, (remember the cowboys are everywhere) told a story about Frank Howard, who had been Charlie’s college coach. When Frank Howard was the head coach at Clemson University, he went out to practice one Monday before a big game with his first and third string quarterbacks out with injuries. That left him with his second, fourth and fifth string QB’s to play the coming Saturday. In the first fifteen minutes of practice, his starting quarterback (previously second stringer) hurt his knee. That elevated the fourth stringer to first string position and put the fifth stringer on the second team. About ten minutes later, that replacement QB hurt his knee. Well, the fifth stringer was now next in line for the first team. Coach Howard blew his whistle and gathered all the players around him. He took the one remaining QB, put his arm around him, and said in his gruff voice, “Son do you believe in magic?” The QB said in a halfhearted way, “Well, sort of.” Coach Howard looked at him, pointed his five fingers at him like a magician does, and said, “Poof!” You are now a first sting quarterback. “ Many people expect the Christian life to work in the same manner “Poof!” All your problems and difficulties are now solved!” But now we have to think about this, the fifth string QB did not get to his position with no work or any responsibility on his part. He still had to work to make the team and even have the ability to play football. He may have been fifth string but his hard work had finally paid off and he was prepared for his new position. Even though he probably never expected to play in a game, he was still prepared and knew it was more than just “Magic.” Paul said some encouraging words one time but also very demanding on our part “Therefore my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” (Philippians 2:12). Let us always be willing to work for our salvation knowing that it does not come by some sort of magic. Ernie
