It must be so. The owner (or was it the general manager) said so, on national TV. So did the coach. Let's face it: without God's intervention, Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning, et al would never have had a chance against the godless Chicago Bears. For who could ever imagine that god would favor the Windy City when He could have a chance to bless Indianapolis instead ("if God didn't make no little green apples, and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime"). Of course, god can be a bit petulant sometimes, for He also wanted the team to experience a little adversity--that's why he had Chicago's Devin Hester score a TD on the opening kickoff.
I assume this is the same god who enjoys watching a hundred twenty Iraqis die in a marketplace suicide bombing, who delights in a tsunami that kills hundreds of thousands and spreads His benevolence on the inhabitants of Darfur. Heck, He even knocked off twenty Floridians this week!
I just think it's great that a god so powerful that He can drown New Orleans, foment revolution in Afghanistan and keep Osama bin Laden on the run (you think?) has the time and inclination to bless the Indianapolis football team. Don't you? I suppose it's true: The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways.
This is really nothing new. Hell, God was always causing the school sports teams to win at my former church that I attended as a kid. Every game that they would pray (in faith) for God to give them the victory, He did. However, as our pastor said, the times when they lost - they simply hadn't prayed with enough faith.
God was too busy to save 300,000 poverty-stricken victims from a tsunami, but He made sure our Christian school basketball team won the state championship.
Here's a pic of the coach giving God all the glory after a victory:
