Saturday's A Rugby Day! Grove Rug-By!

1:00 EDT - Grove City Men's Rugby team is playing Juniata College. Our first home game, and during homecoming weekend. There's Something I've been meaning to post for a while, but keep forgetting. Before each game, the team circles up and listens to a reading of the Scriptures. The verses that have been read to us each game have been 2 Samuel 22:31-43. This is a passage that especially calls upon the manly qualitites of the ruggers...

31 As for God, His way is blameless;
The word of the LORD is tested;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32 For who is God, besides the LORD?
And who is a rock, besides our God?
33 God is my strong fortress;
And He sets the blameless in His way.
34 He makes my feet like hinds' feet,
And sets me on my high places.
35 He trains my hands for battle,
So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your help makes me great.
37 You enlarge my steps under me,
And my feet have not slipped.
38 I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 And I have devoured them and shattered them, so that they did not rise;
And they fell under my feet.
40 For You have girded me with strength for battle;
You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
41 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I destroyed those who hated me.
42 They looked, but there was none to save;
Even to the LORD, but He did not answer them.
43 Then I pulverized them as the dust of the earth;
I crushed and stamped them as the mire of the streets.

Amen!
