In basketball, there is a term for a simulated fall after contact or near-contact with an opposing player. It is called a flop. The player is striving to get a call-in order to have the referee call a penalty on the opposing player. Sometimes this tactic works, depending on the referee’s point of view. At times when a real foul occurs, the referee might view it as a flop. Referees can’t see everything that happens on the court. When we really need help from a true fall, we have someone who always gets the call. And they get the call right every time.
Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me. Psalm 30:2
