UNPACK This...For NFL Draft FansSample
"On the Clock in a Draft Room"
The NFL Draft always lives up to the hype of surprising picks, impactful trades, and memorable moments. As fun and nerve-racking as it is for the players waiting to be picked, there's an added stress for the teams "on the clock" making crucial decisions.
One of my dreams as a sports fan is to witness firsthand what takes place in the draft room of one of the franchises. From the back and forth phone calls...to the heated debates about players...to the shifting of plans midway through...to keeping up with countless scouting reports, it's got to be completely chaotic, stressful, exhilarating, and pressure-filled – all at the same time!
Although I’d enjoy being a bystander in the craziness of a team’s draft room, sometimes I find myself as an active participant in the pandemonium of my own life.
All too often I’m in the middle of a distressed, overwhelming, and head-spinning season of life with everything moving at a rapid pace. I feel like I’m “on the clock” and can’t keep up with all of the decisions that need to be made and the options that need to be considered.
I’m guessing you, too, have these same challenges from time to time. The reality is, however, we can’t thrive or even survive in the mayhem unless we rely on Jesus for strength and peace. Even when we can’t prevent stressful situations, we must remember to pause and invite Christ to get us through.
Today as we consider our own “draft room,” or situation that causes us to be “on the clock,” let’s remember that peace and strength are found in Jesus. Let’s rely on Him for clarity as we make wise selections and overcome the chaos.
I’m Bryce Johnson and you can UNPACK that!
