Really Winning...
A university head football coach gathered his team around him before the game It's going to be a tough one today,'' he said as the men looked intently, readying themselves for the gridiron
Then he made a statement that widened eyes and opened minds: The easiest thing today will be running into the end zone with the ball. But your hardest challenge will be getting up off the ground when they knock you down short of the goal line. Any boy can walk that ball into pay dirt; only THE MEN will get up. brush themselves off when they fail, and go at it again.'’
Five years of standing on the football sideline as team chaplain proved to me the wise coach's philosophy . The guys who made it on the gridiron were the ones who could get up time after time, play after play, and do their job all over again.
The Apostle Paul never played football, but he was a great athlete in the service of his Lord. Said he: "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed.. " (II Cor 4:8.9)
Winning is not always possible, but winning the battle with yourself “to keep on keeping on" is victory in any stadium.
