Having faith is "an otherwise outcome is still good".

God Vs God?

Have you ever witness before a football match in the World Cup or any games how the teams will huddle together and pray to God for victory?

Have you ever wondered if both teams believe in divine help and prayed before the games, whose side will God be on?

Haha it's funny because there can only be one winner in the game and God can't possibly grant both teams the championship title. God vs God?

Same as life, if 2 persons pray for the same thing and only one is allowed to have it, how will God decide? Tough being God..

If you are expecting an answer from me? I don't have any.. of course
But for 2 praying believers competing for the same prize this is wat i think...

Who will win the game?
I dunno

Whose side is God on?
Both

Who will win in life?
Both

My finite mind can only figure that in the bigger scheme of things, the Almighty honors all who seek Him diligently, though it may not necessary be through a game's victory, but certainly in his lifetime.

I like what Abraham Lincoln said

"Let us not pray that God is on our side in a war or any other time, but let us pray that we are on God's side."

I was reading the above entry with amazement. Yes, it is written by someone I respect a lot.

I thought about a almost similar question years ago.

Like the person who eats meat or not.

To the another, it may be an issue of whether the person has the faith for it or not.

It is not about whether the person's faith is greater or not.

So how would we know whom has the faith and has not the faith?

It is like 2 people who are praying for a victory over the same issue in their lives.

"God, let it be me." That I win your football game.

"God, let it be me." That I eat what you ordained.

That is why I like the post so much. That it is not about the game or the food.

But that we are at God's side.

That we are on what He ordained.

There must be the element of sacrilege in your words.

To be able to pray like that is sacrificial.

Someone had the full capacity to know what God wants.

But yet STILL took the chance to pray for the exact opposite.

To want the exact opposite outcome is not rebellion. Otherwise, the perfect man would never do it.

But perfect man is saying "Disparity, live with it".

Having faith is "an otherwise outcome is still good".

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me;

yet not my will, but yours be done."

(it was a process even for Him)
