Who is your Point Guard?

In basketball every position on the floor is important, but if you have a good point guard it can boost your team to another level. The point guard position consists of many different roles: 1. They are the coach on the floor 2. They must fully understand the game plan 3. They are good communicators 4. They are unselfish 4. They are tough 5. They are good leaders and others want to follow them 6. They understand their teammates and know how to create shots for them 7. They are humble 8. They rarely receive the credit they deserve 9. They don't get tired 10. They must have great vision

So for any team to be successful they must have a good point guard. Just as a team needs a good point guard to win basketball games, we need a good point guard to help direct us in the game of life.
What if God was your point guard? He possesses all of the qualities that constitute what a good point guard should look like. What if He was directing your team? We should all want to be a member of His team, because He is the ultimate leader.

He is our life coach. When we need something we should always look to Him first. He always knows the right play to call, and if we execute, most of the time we will be successful.

He understands our game plan for life. We need to trust the game plan He has put before us. He knows what offense and defense we should run before we even are faced with our oppoenents.

He is the great communicator. Communication is the giving and receiving of information. We receive God's will through His word and we give Him information through prayer and the way we spread his word.

He is unselfish. The most unselfish act one can do is give up their life for another. He loved us so much that He sent His son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. I would say that's pretty unselfish..

He is tough. Think about all the people that betray Him? Yet He still loves us and forgives us. And He sent His son to be nailed to a cross with a crown of thorns. We are the nails in His wrist. Hanging from a cross to die for us...Now that's tough.

He is a leader. God sent us son to this world to lead and help others. Think of the many followers He had and the impact that he had in His short time here. People wanted to know who He was and see what He was about because He was different.

He understands us and creates opportunities for us to be successful. He knows the plans He has for each of us. He understands the struggles we must face, the failures that must happen and the trust we must embrace in Him to follow through.

He is humble. "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross."- Philippians 2:5-8

He rarely gets the credit He deserves. For every good and perfect gift comes from Him. Let us not ever forget to be grateful and give Him all the glory in everything that we do.

God never gets tired. He is always there waiting for us to call on Him and to pray to Him for guidance and hope.

He has great vision. God sees all. He is all around us. Everywhere we look, if we look hard enough, we will see God. He wants to be everywhere in our lives.

So just as a point guard is all over the floor, making great passes, knocking down big shots, creating that big assist, getting that key turnover and being that leader your team needs. Think about the game of life...Who is your point guard? Who is your coach in the office and at home? Who is the leader on your team of life and your family? I know who I want to be my point guard. Make sure you pick the right one as well..... He can boost your game of life to a new level.
