Worshiping God at Little League

God has chosen to bless Tammy and me with 4 kids who possess a variety of gifts and abilities.  One ability is athletics.  As Little League begins this week an important question I have is, can we worship God in some real way as we trek multiple times a week for the next few months to the Little League Fields?

I’m aware that for many families, youth sports and worship do go together.  However, it’s a worship of sports and family.  Don’t get me wrong, sports are important and help keep my kids active instead of in front of video games.  Of course family is also a high priority for me, but neither one is to be worshiped.

The problem is that often God isn’t in the equation or he’s added in like the minimum play rule.  

"Don’t forget to get God into the game for at

least 2 innings! Oh darn and it’s such a close

game.  Do I have to?"

When it comes to worshiping God, the OT couldn’t be more clear that God doesn’t accept left-overs or even less than the best from us.  God alone reserves the right of our true worship.  So, is it possible to participate in sports at this level and beyond, and still worship the creator rather than the created?
