Whether Boise knows it or not, this weekend's Davis Cup tie with Serbia is probably one of the biggest events to ever come to the valley. It's being televised to over 70 countries and is huge! Even for those who aren't tennis regulars, to see the most dominant player over the past 2 years and world #1, Novak Djokovich, and the most successful doubles team in tennis history, the Bryan brothers, here in Boise, is simply amazing. What makes Davis Cup so special for players and fans is two-fold. Firstly, the pros play on a team, in a usually individual sport. Secondly, they are playing for their nation in an event that means so much. This weekend players will give their all for their team and their nation. I can't help but think of us Christians being called to do the same thing. We are no longer living for ourselves, but for Christ, being on His team, and fighting to see the kingdom advanced. Just as it's a privilege to represent your nation, as Christians we represent the Lord daily, so play your part well :)
