"Tebowing"; It's About the Prayer, Not the Pose

When Tim Tebow, quarterback for the Denver Bronco's, made an incredible comeback in the fourth quarter of the game against the Miami Dolphins and later won in overtime, he bowed down on the field and prayed while his teammates were celebrating wildly around him.  The picture has become known as "Tebowing".  In a matter of a few days a website; Tebowing.Com has went from less than a thousand hits  to several thousand hits and numerous submitted pictures of people copying Tebow's pose.

According to ESPN, Tim is having fun with the pics and comments via his twitter account; TimTebow.  When Tebow was announced as the Bronco's starting QB, I had spoken with my oldest daughter Breana (Daddo's Little Phood) to pray for him because there are as many people who wanted him to fail as succeed.  During the first half of the game against the Dolphin's Terry Bradshaw admitted on national TV that many want Tebow to fail but that he (Bradshaw) was not one of them.  I was surprised to hear recognize that, let alone say it!  Why is Tim Tebow under so much scrutiny?  Could it be that Tebow's faith has made him a target?  Did God know what He was talking about when the following scripture was inspired and written?

Ephesians 6:12 NLT

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

When the Bronco's won that game against the dolphin's, Tebow didn't pose, he prayed and gave thanks to God.  Over one hundred fifty million people in this country claim to be christians - what a joke!  If that was the case many would rise up against the "attack" Tebow endures, not just because of his abilities or inabilities but primarily due to his faith.  I like what one of the Dolphin players said after the game about Tebow; you better stop talking about what he (Tebow) can't do and talk about what he can do!
