The Greatest Battle Ever

Every Friday night, Saturday. And Sunday in the fall many great battles take place on football fields across the nation. Sometimes the games are blow outs as one team dominates another but sometimes the game comes down to the last play, filling the stadium with tension and anxiety... Yetbthere are games in which one team makes a tremendous comeback and wins the game in the closing moments, sending joy and euphoria throughout the whole community. That is the game and outcome I love to watch. It reminds me of the battle that is going on today between God and the devil. It may appear as if the devil is winning by a huge margin... deceiving people, tempting and lying and it works... but the game is not over... Jesus, the star of which is fighting for every single one of us, is starting to mount a comeback. With each life that is given to Him he cuts the lead that the devil has and I know that this game is going to end with Jesus trouncing on the devils head on his way to victory. He will be able to do that by having a bigger team than the evil one has. That is where we come in... everyone wants to be part of a winning team... we all know that the day will come when Jesus steps on satans head with His heel. So like every successful team we need to do some things. We need to recruit.. start planting that seed of victory in peoples hearts. We need to practice... praying, reading the Bible, repenting and then we lead by example just as the Star did. I can't wait to go into the most grandous of locker rooms after this victory and celebrate.
