In the midst of the many idols that capture our passions, I’m quickened by the Lord with a poem that reminds us that we have been drafted into an eternal purpose and warfare that is not a game (NBA) but truly real beyond what the eye can see. May we guard our hearts from being distracted from this truth and our calling.
I’ve been drafted into an eternal warfare
Where it is not a game
It is a realm of battles
For souls
For rewards that fadeth not away
I’ve been drafted into the beloved bosom of God
Not merely a temporal thing
Nor settling for the accolades of men
The honor
The glory that will be revealed
I have been bought with a price that is beyond this world
Not tossing a mere ball through hoops
I am striving for a prize which will endure throughout all time
Where angels will be judged by me
Where I will fellowship with God Himself throughout eternity
I’ve been drafted into the everlasting family of God
I am humbled
I am grateful
I am yielding more and more of my life
Preparing myself to inherit the prize
Don’t distract me…
I’ve been drafted
Soon to make my transition into paradise
The night is coming
When no man can work
