Don't Drop That Ball
After sitting through
football games all these years, better know, I know a little bit about the
game. I've learned endurance through
rain, shine and cold.
I was thinking about
how important the ball is in the game of football and realized without the ball
there would not be a game. The game ball
is the object of everyone's attention and it is fought over, because both teams
want to get hold of the ball and bring
it in for the score.
The ball is the
lifeline in the game, without possession of it, you would have a no win
situation.
Without the ball we
might as well stay at home and hang up the pompoms, cause there wouldn't be
anything to cheer about. It's like
chewing steak without teeth or driving a car without wheels.
Everyone would be
standing around saying, "where in the world is the ball?"
As Christians, we
have been given a job to do and the "ball" to the Christian is everything
God has given us to win in Christian living.
The only thing is, the "ball' to the enemy is something entirely different.
The enemy is out to
win, and is out to get the ball from you.
He wants you to fail. He wants to
run you over and He doesn't care if you
get spikes in your face while he's trying to take it. He's going to do anything he can to get that
ball.
We as Christians need
to be prepared for the battle and hold onto that ball, hold it tucked under
your arm where ever you go and whatever you do, don't drop that ball, stay with
the fight, don't give the enemy an inch or He will take a mile.
