Stop, Look -n- Listen: Cheer

By

This post is both another one of my Stop, Look and Listens–and a longer Word filled Wednesday.

Last week as I watched my son Justin play football, these two precious children caught my eye. This girl especially captured me. So cute holding a teddy bear close to her heart. Don’t you love her pink, fuzzy hoodie and hair flower?

Actually I don’t know who these kids are, but I’m hoping to meet the family at another game and give them this picture. All I know is they were standing in front of me on our side of the field.

The funny thing about these two kids is they were looking the opposite way of the action. They weren’t even watching the game. What captured their attention instead? Our spirit team(cheerleaders).

I found myself thinking: I want to be focused on my Spirit team(Father, Son and Holy Spirit). Hearing God’s song of cheer just like this boy and girl. No matter what is going on around me, I want to listen to God’s cheer. No matter if I fumble or make a great play, I want to hear Him sing over me.

Do you believe God’s songs over you are for you?

God is on your side. He is your greatest cheerleader. He knows your talent. And He’s designed you to defeat your opponents in His strength. No matter what the score is, no matter how many times you fall short, God believes and supports you.

God is standing on your side, holding you close to His heart like this girl with her teddy bear. Like the spirit team, God Himself is cheering you on today.

I hear His sweet song of cheer, don’t you?

Let’s turn on gaze and our attention to Him right now. He’s got something to say.

He’s bringing great cheer!

Thank you, Jesus, for the picture you showed me as I tried to watch football. Like these kids, I wasn’t paying attention to the plays either. You had something to say. I’m so thankful I was looking and listening. Thank you for again revealing Yourself to me in my everyday life.

Minister to every heart that stops by my blog today. Remind them Your Spirit is singing over them, cheering them on every day. And in the end, we know who holds the victory when all of life’s games are over.

You!

With that reassurance, we get back up when we get hit, walk with our teammates to the field, and take our playing positions. All because You, Lord God, are on our side. Cheering for us.
Amen

  1. Oh how precious!!

    I love your observant heart Tiffany.

    I could not help but think of this scripture as I read your post:

    The Lord your God in your midst,
    The Mighty One, will save;
    He will rejoice over you with gladness,
    He will quiet you with His love,
    He will rejoice over you with singing.
    Zephaniah 3:17

    Yes, I hear those melodies!!

    Love you♥

  2. Beautiful thoughts Tiffany! Love the photo. God has given you eyes that see. That is a gift! Have a great day and talk. B

  4. beautiful! I'm tempted so often to believe that God is not on my side… that he's cheering another song, but I need to remember and believe the TRUTH that HE is on my side! Thanks!

  5. Wow. Isn't it awsome when God speaks to us so unexpectedly. This was such a great observation. Thank you for sharing your heart.

  8. Tiffany,

    God has truly blessed you in so many areas. Your ability to convey these thoughts into words and post them for all of us to savor and enjoy. The picture ties in together perfectly like everything you touch, God blesses!

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do to inspire and encourage us each day!

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat

  11. Blessings Tiffany…truly precious!

    I'm a cheerleader, right down to my core!

    As I read your inspirational spiritual thoughts and prayer, JOY sept over me and these words:

    HE will rejoice over you with
    singing!!! (Zephaniah 3:17)

    Ohhh yeah…here we go again! A sweet song over you, for HE is on our side! He is BY YOUR SIDE always was and always will be…call on His Name!

    Do you know the group 10th Avenue and this song (it's for you today):

    And I'll be by your side
    Wherever you fall
    In the dead of night
    Whenever you call
    And please don't fight
    These hands that are holding you
    My hands are holding you

  15. That is just heart-grabbing… I absolutely love the way you hear God speaking to you through the everyday things. You inspire me to listen for His voice more, and I am hearing it often, but I long to hear it more. Hearing Him speaks just makes you long to hear Him more doesn't it, His voice is so precious!

    Blessings!

  17. I've never been a cheerleader type of girl, and I am happy to have
    sons (sorry to former cheerleaders and cheer moms for this comment!). But I LOVE the idea of God being my personal cheerleader!

    Blessings, Leslie

  19. I love this! I'm going to savor the thought of Him singing & cheering me on for the rest of the day.
    Blessings ~ Lisa
