There was a special guest at church one Sunday. No one told me he was coming to our service that day. But he not only came; we spent a couple of hours together after church in his home in our area.
His name? Vince McMahon.
Yes, that Vince McMahon. The head of WWE – World Wrestling Entertainment. It turns out his mother was a member of my church, and I never knew it.
After the service, he invited me to his home, which he only used occasionally throughout the year. We discussed matters of faith and, yes, wrestling. Guess what I learned that day?
Professional wrestling is scripted. Who would have known?
In a sold-out arena of 20,000 people, there was always one observer who knew the outcome. Vince McMahon. He never worried about the outcome of any match because he knew the outcome in advance. That is the role of the promoter.
The Promoter of the universe already knows how your fight will come out. Spoiler alert – you win!
Recovery Step: Rejoice in the great Promoter who already knows how the battle ends. “He orders our steps” (Psalm 37:23).
