Are you a #football #fan? Having been raised in #Texas, I was taken as a child to football #games with my #father no matter the weather while he explained the plays and players to me as only an former quarterback could. (You see way back then there was no television) He emphasized the importance of skill, but the ability to persevere through set backs by overcoming determination to finish the game a winner! I see many football games on TV today that start out good, but they cannot endure the rigors to finish the way they started. Those football insights my father gave me long ago actually applied to my outlook on life in school, work, relationships, and with the Lord. As I read God’s Word, I see that GOD IS THE FINISHER. “Seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto JESUS the author and FINISHER of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.”
WHAT KIND OF A GAME ARE YOU PLAYING WITH GOD?
