Don't Drop That Ball - Bible Devotional - Football



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.
