In baseball, the midpoint of the season is when the all-star game is played. The all-star break is a time where major league teams evaluate their chances at making the playoffs. The 2021 Atlanta Braves had a losing record of 44-45 at the all-star break. Superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. was lost to a season-ending knee injury. Atlanta’s pitching ace Mike Soroka was also out and hurt. Experts gave the Braves a 0.3 percent chance of winning the World Series. Very little was going well for the Braves most folks saw them including this fan as a losing team.
Alex Anthopoulos the general manager of the Braves did not see them as a losing team. He acquired Joc Pederson, Adam Duvall, Jorge Soler, and Eddie Rosario remaking the outfield along with fireballer Richard Rodriguez reinforcing the bullpen. The 44-45 Braves got the message, their general manager saw them differently not as a losing team but as a World Series-winning team which is exactly what they became.
Abram grew up in a pagan home in an unbelieving and idolatrous society. With such an upbringing many could easily see Abram as a sinful unbelieving man, however, God saw things differently. When Abram was 99 years old God made an extraordinary promise to a person of his background. The Lord declared to Abram that at long last he and his wife would have a son and that he was changing his name to Abraham reflective of God’s vision and status for him to become the father of many nations.
God sees you differently from what you and the world may see you to be. God’s plans for you are far greater than we can ever imagine. Many of us may not know how God sees us and what plans God has for our lives. The discovery process may take some time remember Abraham was 99 when God came to him, but it will happen. For those of us who know what God has in store for us, I have this advice live as God sees you and not as the world sees you. We need to look no further than the World Series Champion Atlanta Braves and Abraham to know that God sees you differently.
