And now, here's today's devotion.

Hello, my name is Greg Ott, former chaplain of Memphis 901 FC and part of Soccer Chaplains United.

I'm praying for pro soccer to return to Memphis someday soon, but for now, I enjoy connecting with former players and praying for those involved with the beautiful game.

Today is day 21 of our World Cup prayer journey.

And as the round of 32 continues with three more matches today, I want to offer a short reflection about how broken players still belong based on Psalm 34 and Soccer Psalm 34.

The subtitle on this psalm tells us that it was written when David acted insane to escape his enemy.

When David had to trust in God to deliver him.
