Well, it is finally here. Today is the day that the College Football Playoff Championship will be decided. The contest pits two familiar foes, Clemson and Alabama, the two finalists from last year. They are vying for a National Championship and the crystal trophy. There is not a team in this country that wouldn't want the opportunity to play for a championship - they are rare.
But, who was the national champion in college football in 1976? Unless you are just an avid fan or were attending the championship school during this time, you probably don't know. Why? Because earthly rewards make life nice for a little while but they are fleeting. Yet, we seem to focus way more on the temporal than the eternal.
Today's word is 1 Peter 5:4, NLT, which reads, "And when the Great Shepherd appears, you will receive a crown of never-ending glory and honor."
Striving for superiority, for being the best at something is extremely admirable and honorable and worthwhile. So, too, is making sure that we use what we have to bring glory and honor to our SAVIOR, and to lead others to Him. It is an extra-special opportunity when you can use one to aid in the other. If you find yourself with the opportunity to share with others how you achieved success, take the opportunity to tell them about the blessings received through CHRIST JESUS.
Well, it is Championship day. Roll Tide! And, by the way, the Pittsburgh Panthers, led by Heisman Trophy winner, Tony Dorsett, won the 1976 National Championship.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
