The First Down
If there's one thing I know about football, it would be, the longer a team
has the ball, the bigger the advantage for that team. The enemy doesn't take over the power of the
game all at once, it's a little bit at a time.
They are after the "first down", because they are rewarded
with extra time to make the score. That's
why it's very important to stop the team before they get the "first down." When they continue to have the control, they
force the opposing team to go the wrong way down the field.
It's always fun to have your team regain control of the ball and start
moving the ball in the right direction.
It's hard work and strategy, to regain the power of the game a little
bit at a time. It takes team work,
endurance and going forward.
In the Christian life if we give up ground to the devil, the longer you
let him have it the harder it is to get back.
The more you let him have the more he will take. Don't give the devil a chance to gain the
power of your life, by letting him get the "first down." Fight and fight hard to maintain your
Christian strength by being faithful in your heart and life to our Heavenly Father. The closer you follow the plan of his Word
and fellowship with OUR Father God, the more you will be able to resist the sin
that so easily besets you.
When you see your going the wrong way, gain control.
When you have the ball, run with it in the right direction. Pass it , to your teammates, and together
make a score for the cause of eternity
and our Savior.
Hebews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
