I naturally become suspect when someone says they have a “vision from God”...especially as it pertains to sports. I would imagine in the grand scheme of things, God doesn’t care who wins the Super Bowl. It is, of course, a great thing to give thanks to God for the ability to play and to play well regardless of the outcome.

You never know how many people may have heard his words and been touched to make a change in their lives to move closer to God.

Christians are called to plant seeds....and to have the opportunity to do so on world wide television is quite a blessing.

” I would imagine in the grand scheme of things, God doesn’t care who wins the Super Bowl.”

He rigged the game.

In the grand scheme of things, God cares about everything from the galactic supercluster to the atomic subparticle.

What God cares about a particular Super Bowl is almost certainly going to be nothing at all what we care about, since His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts.

My friend played College baseball for Oregon State. He told me at his first college game he went to the plate and made the sign of the cross, even though he wasn’t catholic. He struck out and walked back to the dugout and the first thing the coach said was that he had to pray when he got to the plate, it was too late.

Yeah, people should give thanks to God, but to think a vision of winning a sporting event was a message from God, well that's a little arrogant and shallow. If god wants to communicate with puny humans, I'm thinking he will be dealing with matters of substance and significance to mankind, particularly during a time of such sin and debauchery, and the drifting of religion away from biblical messages. I like Kupp, but he should probably stick with "I had a vision".

God DOES know our thoughts. He knows our pain of soul in great disappointments. He also knows what is coming in our time frame. So it is not suspect when a Christian asks God ‘why’ or ‘if and when’ and He shares one of His glimpses into what is coming in our time frame.

You are right. God does not give “visions” about irrelevant worldly drivel like the Super Bowl.

[Getready]

God can use a Super Bowl or anything He wants. We cannot limit God. But I am suspicious about anyone who assumes God will bless them in the way they desire. I wonder how many on the Bengals team had a vision also.
On a humorous side, obviously the refs vision wasn’t always perfect.

In winning, he got to witness to millions of people.

In that way, perhaps God did care who won.
