Bobby Richardson played baseball for the New York Yankees for ten and a half years. He won the Golden Glove award for excellence in fielding five times. He played in seven All-Star games and in five World Series. When Bobby Richardson retired in 1966, there was a special ceremony in his honor at Yankee Stadium. His teammates gave him all kinds of accolades and the fans gave him deafening applause. When it came time for Bobby to take the microphone, his words were few. He said, “How lucky it has been for me to have been a Yankee. To God be the glory!”

Bobby Richardson wasn’t timid about acknowledging the part God played in his life and neither should we. If we really love God, we won’t be able to keep it a secret. Like Bobby Richardson we’ll give God the glory.
