But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.~Deuteronomy 3:28

Obviously, Skip Bayless has not read, or has read and not understood Deuteronomy 3:28. It is obvious from his tweet and his response to Shannon Sharpe on their program aired by ESPN. Yes, this situation happened a couple of weeks ago. But there is an important lesson that can be learned from this situation.

Bayless’ tweet about Damar Hamlin was not the first time for such callous behavior by the sports commentator. When Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback, Dak Prescott, experienced depression, Bayless expressed he couldn’t support Prescott as a quarterback because Prescott made it public.

But that’s exactly when people should have been supportive and encouraging Prescott. Perhaps, Bayless can learn from this experience . . . maybe he will learn to have players’ backs like Ryan Clark, Michael Strahan or even like Stephen A. had his in this situation.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. . . . For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.~Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-10 NIV
