I was reading about a football game of deaf high school kids. I thought to myself, “How in the world are they going to hear the calls for the plays since they are all deaf?”
What was interesting is that they all take to the field and look at the coach and the coach signs the plays. Then they nod and then watch the quarterback, he puts his hands down, the ball is snapped and they take off.
But what was most intriguing of all is how they substitutes on the sideline. All of them want to play football. But how does the coach make the exchange since they can’t hear? As soon as the play is done and the guy is tackled, all the kids look at the coach. If he does not sign them in, they watch the play and as soon as it is done, they look at the coach again.
I thought, “Lord, please make my heart like that. I want to be ready by fixing my eyes on You, and be ready to go when you give the sign.”
