Good Tuesday morning! A very welcome rainy day has started here and we give glory to God the Father! Last night I watched a great team lose and a great team win. While individuals made mistakes and great plays, the teams won or lost based on their team effort. I was glad to see that Nebraska teams are not the only ones that can go into a championship rated #1 and fall flat on their team rear ends. The Florida team proved quite capable of doing just that, thank you very much! Washington on the the other hand showed what a great team can do when the players rise to the occasion. How 'bout Oklahoma City providing some nice weather for this tournament! No thunderstorms and lots of bright, sunny days so far. We'll see how Omaha does very soon for the men's CWS.
What about you and me? Is a little rain falling in your life today? Perhaps you feel the monsoon has come into your life? Troubles and trials will come in this life. Jesus does not take the wide, smooth, and easy way in bringing us home. Be glad that He doesn't take the way that leads to destruction. Like one of the teams last night, you may find it hard to be joyful when you perform very badly in an important situation, especially if that situation is very public. Does the scoreboard show your humiliation on television sets across the globe? Probably not, but it might feel a bit like that sometimes. Remember that even in our failures, God has already set down the victory in the final score. In Christ we cannot lose this war, even though our troubles may seem like we have lost the battle and should just retire from the fight.
Have a great day in Jesus!
