Victory is Ours

 Well, our football season came to an end this weekend, with a 40 - 41 lose in four (4) overtimes. Our boys played extremely well and extremely hard. The team they faced was larger but they accepted the challenge and fought all night. Unfortunately, we coaches, made a few mistakes that ended up costing us the game.

Sometimes, we can play as well as we can, we can fight as hard as we can, and things still don't go our way. But, we still have victory because, when you do your very best, you are a winner. The scoreboard is not where the real results are shown, it is in the heart.

Today's word is Psalm 73:26, NIV, which reads, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but GOD is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

In this life, there will be failures. We live in a broken and fallen world, which will bring heartache and failure numerous times in our lives. We will have times in our lives when we are doing our absolute best but circumstances and others will determine our outcome. We can pour our heart and soul into things and still end up on the losing end. BUT...

But, if JESUS is your SAVIOR, you have already won the greatest prize of all. Yes, this world will wear us down but JESUS will one day take us UP. This world will bring us heartache and disappointment, but JESUS will heal our hurts and fill our hearts with gladness. Hold your heads up, victory is ours!

Be Blessed,
