@FoulTerritoryTV@Ken_Rosenthal Not a great take imo. Dodgers have had a ton of injuries throughout the year and are still in 1st place. No other team in MLB could have done that. Padres may win it, but there is not some WS hangover with LAD. There is not a lack of desire or “different psychology”.
Vin Scully took his place at the mic alongside Red Barber for the first time 75 years ago today, beginning his tenure as the iconic voice of the @Dodgers. https://t.co/qs6wdqcRog
The same God that didn't answer your prayers immediately is the same God that didn't punish you for your sins immediately. He is a wise and gracious God.

Jesus At The Right Hand Of The Father by J.C. Ryle
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. -Colossians 3:1
Let your faith's eye see Jesus as your Priest in heaven, and rejoice in the sight.” What will you see there? You will see the same Savior who died for you exalted to the place of highest honor, and doing the work of an intercessor and advocate for your soul. All was not done when He suffered for your sins on Calvary. He rose again and ascended up to heaven, to carry on there the work which He began on earth.
There, as our Priest and Representative, He ever lives to make intercession for us. He presents our names before the Father; He continually pleads our cause. He obtains for us a never-ending supply of mercy and grace; He watches over our interests with an eye that never sleeps. He is ready, morning, noon, and night, to hear our confessions, to grant us absolution, to strengthen us for duty, to comfort us in trial, to guide us in perplexity, to hold us up in temptation, and to preserve us safe on our journey heavenward until we reach home.
What will you get by looking upward to Jesus? Comfort and strength in all the daily battle of life. What thought more cheering than the thought that Jesus is ever looking at you and watching over you! What idea more strengthening than the idea that you are never alone, never forgotten, never neglected, never without a Friend who is "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them" (Hebrews 7:25)!
Look up to Him daily, if you would be a happy Christian; pour out your heart before Him, if you would enjoy the consolations of the Gospel. This daily look to a living interceding Jesus is one great secret of strength and comfort in religion!
