When Tim Tebow played football in The Swamp at the University of Florida he displayed verses of Scripture in eye-black.  

A CBS Denver sports writer commented after the Denver Broncos overtime defeat of the Pittsburgh Steelers that "Only Tim Tebow could turn his passing yards into a Biblical passage."

You see, when you add it all up, Tebow, the Denver Broncos quarterback threw for 316 yards, setting a postseason record of averaging 31.6 yards per completion.

John 3:16 is one of Tebow's favorite verses. It reads, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Each week Tebow selects a game-day verse. You can read through them at www.tebowseyeblack.com.

Next week, as the Broncos advance in the NFL playoffs, I'm personally hoping for a game-day verse like Philippians 4:13. 

According to the site, Tebow's game-day prayer is one we could each echo: "No matter what happens, win or lose, give me the strength to honor you."

Amen.
