"My only hope in such trying times is the power of the Holy Spirit. He is the X factor. He will give us the strength, words, and vision when our backs are against the wall. Jesus promised the Believer many things. Eternal life, abundant life, peace, purpose and forgiveness to name a few." -Benjamin Watson

(New Orleans, LA)—Benjamin Watson, Tight End for the New Orleans Saints, has shared sweet photos of his son, Judah, to commemorate the 2 year old's birthday and reflect on God's faithfulness throughout his young life. Photo: Facebook / Benjamin Watson)

In a recent Facebook post, Watson posted a photo collage of his son, pictured at just a few weeks old.

"It's always fun and nostalgic to look back at baby pictures on our kid's birthdays," the NFL star wrote. "On March 19, 2013 we were blessed with our second baby boy. We named him Judah, which means "God be Praised". Every time I see or think about him I'm reminded that God deserves our praise in all circumstances. Even the tough ones. I can't believe our baby is turning two already. He's a strong boy, both physically and in spirit and I can't wait to see what God has planned for his life. Happy Birthday Son! Daddy loves you!"

In addition to Judah, Watson and his wife, Kirsten, also have three other young children who carry the Biblically-influenced names Grace, Naomi and Isaiah.

Earlier in March, Watson made national headlines after he issued a powerful response to the persecution of Christians at the hands of the Islamic State, and around the world, arguing that all Believers must be willing to face martyrdom for their faith.
