Super Bowl Lesson

Yesterday was Super Bowl Sunday, and like a lot of people, we had a Super Bowl Party. I was mainly there for the party, not the Super Bowl (I am a little football ignorant, but I love people and parties).
I did however learn a little from the Super Bowl.
The last 2 minutes of the game were amazing.
The Giants came back with a touchdown, and won the game.
Lesson Learned: It aint over till it’s over.
Don’t give up with the way things look like they are going. keep fighting for what is right and what you want to happen, no matter how things look.
If the giants looked at the clock, and the little time left, they may have grown dicouraged and not given it their all…..but they looked beyond what appeared to be happening and pressed in for what they wanted to happen. They gave the last two minutes everything they possibly could, and look what they accomplished.
I can use this as encouragement to keep looking at the goal.
Keep your eyes on the prize.
Don’t look at what the world looks like right now, look to what our commission is.
Look to what Christ said to do: Preach the Gospel…..the Good News.
Show people the goodness of God by living lives that lift up the standard He set for us.
Tell of the wonderous things God has done for us.
Expect souls to be saved because time is not up yet.
We are not done until the final buzzer rings.
We may be in the final two minutes, we may not have much time left to accomplish the goal…. but we do have what it takes to keep on going.
We have God on our side, and God always wins in the long run.
