SCORE at the NCCAA National Tournament

   


Had a great week at the NCCAA National Tournament in Springfield, MO. Saturday morning before the final games we did a  free basketball clinic for the area kids. Had a great turn out and a better time. Josh Delph, a sharp shooting guard from Ohio Chrisitan University, shared his moving testimony with the kids. He explained how he overcame a VERY difficult background by using basketball as way to stay out of trouble and a way to get out of his house. He talked about how the church next door had a basket that he would play on as a way to escape. Later after he asked Christ to come into his life, he went back to checkout the goal at the church. It was no longer there. He praised God for allowing that goal to be in his life at that point when he needed something to help him out of his tough situation. He praised God for taking the place of that goal  and though the goal was longer there, God is always there.

I thought about 1 Corinthians 10:13.... "But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so you may be able to endure it"..... God always provides the way out. The choice is ours to take it.
