Hope In The King

I must admit that I am not a huge fan of the NBA... Say what you will of me, but I haven't been very interested since MJ hung it up... And I don't mean when he came back as a Wizard, or whatever he was trying to do... But I mean "back in the day"... Pippen, Paxon, Grant, Rodman... Okay - maybe not Rodman... But basketball was so much fun then... We all believed that the Bulls might actually win every game because they had ol' number "23"... No matter what the scoreboard said - we had hope that he could do it...

It seems like nowadays, though - that there is another "23" for the Cavs who is bringing a similar 'glint' in the eyes of fans everywhere... Whether you follow the NBA or not - watching the highlights of this "King" during Sports Center is astounding... They could do their own segment just on the 'sweet action' plays he makes every night... It doesn't matter if the Cavs are up or down - if he has the ball they believe they can still win... They still have hope...

However - there's not eternal hope in this "king"... Occasionally - he will let you down... He won't make every shot... He will, at times, lose the big game... But there's another "King" that will never fail... He will never let you down... In fact - He is the "King of Kings"... His jersey has all numbers - the "Alpha and Omega"... If you're looking for someone to hang your hopes on - you can "bank" on this guy... His name isn't 'King James' - It's "King Jesus" - and He is - by far - your 'best shot'...

"No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame..." (Psalm 25:3)
