Indeed, all who want to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
At that call, Cone exploded. Turning his back to the
infield, he began a shouting match with the umpire. As teammates
yelled to him and Cone went on shouting and holding the ball, two
Atlanta runners came home safely.
That play gave the Braves a solid lead to clinch the game!
People do stupid things. Paul was persecuted in every possible way,
but he never took his eye off of the mark.
(2
Timothy 3.12
NRSV)
Take the case of David Cone, pitcher for the New York Mets
baseball team. In a game a few years ago against the Atlanta Braves,
a batter hit to the first baseman and Cone had to cover first
base. The umpire ruled the runner safe, saying Cone took his foot
off the bag.
Dear God, help me to keep my eyes on your mark. Amen.
