Sounds like you have no faith in the LORD. I feel sorry for you. He loves us more than we can imagine. Maybe some day you will see the light.

Another lost soul. The LORD has power over everything. Sad to see that you have such little faith.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I think we put it in a way we can understand or measure. In the whole scheme of things is a fisherman being blessed in a sporting event the end goal? Or is it that someone needs to see a figure submit their self to a higher power? I personally feel that God does not care who wins or looses a game or event, but more so how the victor or even the others who do not win handle the outcome. If they can win and be humble to praise Him or if they can gracefully handle the defeat while still praising Him then that is overall a bigger deal. When you have many followers, you don’t know who is going through what or needs to hear or see something at that point in their life or journey. But He does and our ultimate prayer daily should be for Him to use us to further the kingdom. All in all we are all parts of the body doing our job. Who is humble enough to submit and allow the all mighty to use is for his glory.

Ez Ez, we should encourage each other not tear one another down.

My wife and I are adopting two babies, and we are far from young. I take NO credit in what we are doing. BUT, I do thank the Lord for putting them in our lives every single day. It's a giant challenge, but I thank HIM for the gift he has given us. PERSONALLY, I feel he touches our lives even in the smallest of things. I also believe he sometimes gives us that 5th fish!! But, as they say, that's me.

I pray for the first fish! And the second, third, fourth, and fifth! Ha.

Congratulations on the life long joy you and your family are gonna be blessed with!

Actually I think he has 3 top 10's this year

You are right and I couldn’t have been more wrong. Hah. He has 3 in a row. Must be that 6lb Tatsu line he uses.

" To God be the Glory"!

Proof we could argue about anything.

Cant argue that. We are only human.

Ain't that the truth? As far as what part of my life(and your life) my Lord and Savior wants to be a part of? Every part of it. He wants to be included in EVERYTHING!

I have not seen the video, but he probably prayed he would do his best for his family and sponsors and bring glory to God through his performance. He took advantage of his victory and used the opportunity to call attention to and thank God. I applaud his public Christian faith and testimony if genuine. I don't know anything about him. I've seen other winners in other situations do the same kind of thing and it can be admirable or laughable depending on the consistency of their lifestyles.

I, too, have always wondered and doubted if God shows preference to people in such situations. I now think He might at times. God is sovereign. He may choose to allow a Christian to win if He has good purposes for it. He may allow a Christian to lose for other good purposes. It is hard to know. God is good and shows grace to believers and nonbelievers. He works in mysterious ways!

If God does not show preference in a situation, then the Christian man had a great performance and win and gave God the glory for it. It is still admirable. Sometimes people say things a little wrong or off when they are excited or nervous.

It is probably best for all of us to pray in faith, do what we do to the best of our God-given ability and give all the glory to God when we have the opportunity. There are opportunities to learn, be an example and glorify God in both winning and losing.

Just my $.02. I'm still learning and have a lot to learn about God and Jesus. Join me!

I am a lost soul and have no faith because I'm not quite sure God is concerned with an angler winning a fishing tournament?

I'm pretty sure God could care less who wins or loses a fishing tournament, football, basketball, hockey or golf match... If you pray for a win and I pray for a win, aren't we putting the Lord in a non-winnable position???... I pray that I perform to the best of my ability and that no one get injured... Let the chips fall where they may... Dan
