Does God help athletes to win games?

BibleLine

Our listener asks, "Pastor Jesse,

Last Sunday, Scottie Scheffler won the

Masters. In his interviews and print

media he said ‘I just wanted to Glorify

God.’

My question is this: How does it Glorify God when a

Christian athlete wins a competition?

What if the runner up is also a

Christian, but he did not win? Does

that mean that God did not favor him

to win? Maybe he did not pray hard

enough! (sarcastic humor). I think you know what I’m trying to

get at. It’s not like the Calvinistic view

of ‘God controls everything and even

controls our destiny and actions.’

I guess it’s like a friend of mine after a

different person won a golf

tournament, and he said ‘God helped

me win.’ Upon hearing that, my friend said,

‘Does that mean that God was against

the other player?'" Thanks,

Mike
