Monday Morning Quarterback

In my previous life, I was a huge football fan, I knew all the players and positions and teams and could pick a winner with the limited experience I had. I always hated the Monday Morning Quarterback, "If Only so and so had done such and such." As if they had all the answers, after the fact. That old saying "Hind sight is 20/20" always applies when they lose or lose the point spread.

This is true in our Christian walk as well. Isn't it always easier to stand on the sidelines, on Monday morning, and say if they had only done such and such, if they hadn't given into temptation, if they had read the Bible more, if they had been in church more, etc... "If I had only, blah, blah, blah."

We cannot walk in another's shoes, we cannot know what another feels, we can barely know what we will do in a given situation, but one thing we do know, that we have a God who's grace provides and who's not a Monday Morning Quarterback. With Him, we always get a do-over. And with Him, walking beside us, guiding us, we can be the winners, the closer we get to the down, the easier it is to not have to have 20/20 hindsight.
