“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!” ~ 1 Chronicles 16:11 ~ Say it isn’t so. Just one week ago as I write this, the owner of the San Diego Chargers football team — my San Diego Chargers football team — announced their official move to Los Angeles! I may be a week late in addressing this major news event, but I’ve been a little busy lately. However, I know that you’ve all been waiting on me to weigh-in on this terrible news — so, here goes… The Chargers have been my team for as long as I can remember having a “team” to root for. I came to San Diego in 1953 — by way of my mom and dad. The Chargers came to San Diego in 1961 — by way of Los Angeles. They were the very first team I ever saw play live. I can still remember Lance Alworth playing at Balboa Stadium. Bummed that they are leaving San Diego — a bit. But then again, I’ve left San Diego a couple of times while they stayed put. In the big picture of things — they are just a football team and what they do is not really going to change my life — wherever they choose to call home. On the other hand, there are certainly people who I would not want to loose contact with. There are people that I really hope will not let me down. I don’t even want to think about the negative impact that could have on my life. Unfortunately, there will always be those who do just that. They disappoint, they leave, they frustrate, they betray, and many times, they really hurt us. We may have put great trust and hope in them, only to be terribly abused. It can make us fearful of ever trusting anyone again. Of course, there is One who we can always count on. One who will never walk away from us. One who will never seek to harm us. One who told us: “… Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” ~ Hebrews 13:5 ~ Jesus said it — and Jesus means it. You may be going through real hurt today because of the actions of another person. You feel betrayed and afraid to trust. Today, let me encourage you to shift your hope and trust to Jesus. Make it a habit to seek His presence everyday. He will never let you down. Blessings on your week as you seek the Lord and His strength. It’s what you need! Pastor Terrell P.S. Just wait ‘till you see me rocking my new Arizona Cardinals shirt!
