We played a youth football game last night that didn't go the way we would have liked. While we lost, the boys played about as hard and about as determined as I have ever seen them play. However, the final score indicated that they hadn't done enough. Now, there were some other happenings that contributed but, we will stick to the narrative.
It is tough to take when you do all you can and realize that it may not be enough. Not because of effort. Not because of determination. Not because of not giving it your all. You do all you can and you still come up short. It is a tough pill to swallow.
Today's word is 2 Corinthians 3:5, NIV, which reads, "Not that we are competent to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from GOD."
In life there will be times when we do all we can and it just won't be enough. However, if we have done our best, we are still winners. When it comes to salvation, though, there is never anything that we can do ourselves that makes us good enough. The only thing that makes us good enough for Heaven is accepting JESUS as our SAVIOR.
LORD JESUS, thank You for making a way for me. In ALL my incompetence, You still find me worth it.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
