This sport has a very old origin. The first place where something close to football was played was in Egypt. The leather ball was invented by the Chinese in the second and third centuries before Jesus was born.
The Creeks played episkyros, in which two teams of twelve to fourteen players passed the ball over the opposing team with their hands and feet.
Later, Roman soldiers practiced the harpastum, a game that consisted of two teams whose objective was to take the ball to the rope at the end of the opposite field. When the Romans invaded the British Isles, they took this game there, and that is the origin of the current sport of rugby football, a game played with a ball and using the feet.
However, the modern game of soccer as you know it was reinvented in 1863 in England. FIFA (which in English means the International Federation of Association Football), is responsible for directing and regulating the rules of football and also the most prestigious international football competition: the World Cup.
I don’t know if King David ever got to play football or something like it, but instead of lifting up the World Cup as players do now, in his psalms he says he lifted up the cup of salvation, which is the cup of thankfulness and praise to God for saving us.
Don’t you think it’s much smarter and more useful for your life to do what David did? How about if, instead of the soccer cup, you celebrate the cup of salvation every day, with gratitude and praise to God?
In your Prayer Journal, write a poem of praise to Jesus for being your Savior.
