bracket buster

5/23/2014

 
March Madness is here in full force. If you're a bracket junkie or know a bracket junkie then you know that today has wrecked just about everyone's ideas of how they thought things were going to go. Dayton over Ohio State? Harvard over Cincinnati? Thousands of people all across the nation are in disbelief and scrambling to figure out how to make something out of a broken bracket. 

Busted brackets remind me of our broken plans for life. How many times have you and I mapped out every step of our lives in an effort accurately forecast our own futures? 
  • Here's where we'll be in five years. 
  • Here's where I'm going to college.
  • Here's the person I will spend my life with
  • Here's my next step for my career.
  • Here's how we're going to plan our family.
We've become really good at filling out our brackets for life without ever stopping to consult God. We've already decided who and what are moving on to the next round. But what happens when we experience a bracket buster? What happens when there's an upset? What happens when an unknown "team" comes out of nowhere and obliterates your plan?  

Suddenly we find ourselves scrambling around trying to make sense out of a busted bracket. What would happen if we allowed God in at the beginning of the bracket process?

Proverbs 3:5-6 says.."Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." 

What if we let God fill out our brackets?
