NFL Player Praises the Lord
New Orleans Saints linebacker Demario Davis turned his appearance on Fox Sports 1 into an opportunity to praise God.
When asked by Colin Cowherd about his career, Davis said he is “still playing is because God has not done what He’s doing with me in the game yet.”
He added that he will “play as long as He tells me to.”
“Because it’s Him that is … extending my platform, because He knows what I’m going to do with it. He knows that every time I get in a seat like this, I’m going to give glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I’m going to say it’s because of Him that I’m here,” Davis explained.
Going on to discuss a moment where he almost gave up his NFL career, he told Cowherd, “And I said, ‘Man, God, my body is broke down. My mind is broke down. I can’t do it anymore. But if You want me to go forward, I’ll keep going.’”
“And I’m praying this, and God literally spoke to me internally, and was just like, ‘I got it. You wave the white flag, I got it from here.’”
“So I can’t help but to use this platform to continue to give Him Glory every time. It’s not like a front for me, it’s not like a T-shirt, it’s not like a chain for me, it’s not like earrings with crosses on them, It’s not like I’m just trying to have a brand of Jesus Christ … it’s my life,” Davis said.
“He wants to have that same type of relationship and connection with you,” he added. “It’s not just unique to me, it’s not like, ‘Oh, he has this special favor on Demario.’ Like no, this is what happens when you have that true relationship.”
Davis described his NFL career as a “platform that gives me an opportunity to talk about Him, and as long as he wants to use it for that, He knows I’m gonna do it.”
