In most sports, an umpire is one who “(in some sports) an official who watches a game or match closely to enforce the rules and arbitrate on matters arising from the play.” We are loved by God, and His love for us was demonstrated through Christ sacrifice on the cross. It’s a blessing to know that His love didn’t just stop on Calvary! He’s given us peace to weather through every situation in our lives (John 14:27). With that same peace, He desires to “umpire” the state of our hearts and minds. As we focus our minds on Him instead of the circumstance, like an umpire, He will “enforce the rules” of that perfect peace in our hearts (Isaiah 26:3). So, where’s your focus today? If need be, make the adjustment, so the Umpire can play His part in your life. He’s watching and waiting to intervene on your behalf.
