The Colts are out of the running now for the Superbowl. In the Times online Tony Dungee was reported to now have to face the grief of his son's suicide without the distraction of coaching. He was quoted as saying that “And I wish we were going a little longer.(The Colts) I really thought the Lord’s hand was on this team.”
Who side is God on? What Tony is implying is that God is only on the side of the winners. If you are a loser God's hand wasn't on you. That's not how I read the Bible. What the Bible states is that ones who are willing to lose are God's champions.
I know the metaphor falls apart when you invoke a football team's season. However Tony, God embraces those who have lost. I think that means He has His hands on you. Even better yet, He has his arms around you.
