I said it last night and I said it last week, but I'd like to say it again.
Our longing for GA to win, is a longing for the familiar to win, our longing for our friends to win, our longing for the team we are connected to win, our longing for the good guys to win. I think this is a foreshadwoing in our hearts, that is, something that looks like something we will see in the future....
Jesus is not struggling to win. And we are on his team. We are a part of his Kingdom. We wear his jersey. He defeated death. He lived a perfect life. He rose from the dead. He conquered sin. He conquered shame. And the crazy thing is, he invited us to be on his team. Now he sits in Heaven, sitting means peaceful, sitting means his work is done, sitting means he's got it. And one day, he will get up, he will get on his white horse and lead the battle to defeat Satan forever. He will bind Satan forever and we will all live in the Kindgom with him forever. We know how the story will end. We have confidence because the things that were told would happen in the Old Testament happened. So we know the things that the says New Testament will happen will happend.
Last night we had to wonder-- is this field goal enough? Was that missed field goal enough? Was that stop enough? Was that touchdown enough? We do not have to worry about that with Jesus. He is enough. As you start your fast today and wonder if you can make it without coke, remember Jesus is strong enough to be your strength. When you wonder if God hears your prayers for wisdom and breakthough, remember Jesus is enough to take your prayers to the Father and strong enough to give us those things. Jesus is enough. yesterday. today. forever.
So glad we cheer for the Dawgs. So excited to see them win. So proud to see their hard work, their strength, their character, the way they encourage one another as teammates. We learn from them, are inspired by them, and want to be a little better because of them. We spent time together as a family cheering them on- time well spent. It was a fun season, one to remember! Its great to be a Georgia Bulldog!
