Christian NBA Player Jeremy Lin shares how God directs his path

You've probably heard about NBA player Jeremy Lin's AMAZING 3 pointer Tie-Breaking Shot at the Toronto Raptors Game VS The New York Knicks on Valentines Day (Feb 14 2012) at the Air Canada Center downtown Toronto, with less than 1 SECOND to go!!!

Just who is Jeremy Lin?  He's 23 years old, a Harvard Grad, and the first NBA player of Taiwanese decent. He plays for the New York Knicks, and he's a Christian.

Here's the incredible shot he made... footage of the last 10 seconds from last Tuesday night's Game:



Last Year, Jeremy spoke at a Christian church, sharing about how God directed his career path to the NBA, in circumstances beyond his control.  He also talks about "God's fingerprints" on his life. 




Pretty neat to hear of more and more athletes showcasing near-to-impossible goals... and then, when people get curious about them, they eventually find out where their heart lies and beliefs, and hear about how God is working in their lives.

Here are some bible verses that I came across that show how God truly is in control of all situations, and it is our CHOICE to acknowledge it or not.... However by acknowledging His ways, GREAT things can come about, that can help us understand his amazing, unconditional, everlasting love....

 ”A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9

"Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 3:6

"The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength."  Isaiah 58:11
