Are You Ready for Some Football?

Ready, down, set, hut-hut-hut!
Football season is in full swing and I am lovin' it. I must admit that I really love the college game, but here I sit (and write) watching Sunday Night Football (Dallas vs. NYG). The college game is filled with so many different elements from the student fans, the alumni, the awesome bands, the all-out hustle and play of young men who most of them will not make the professional ranks. The rivalries are great too. The upsets and the Polls- love em' or hate em'. Then there are the bowl games. More football to love!
So whether you are a pro fan, a college fan or in most cases both- football season is here for a while. That reminds of the word season. How long exactly is a season? It depends on the success of a given team. Some teams season is over after the final regular season game. Other teams go on to the playoffs and other postseason (bowl) games.

You know God works in seasons. His Word says, seedtime then harvest (Gen. 8:22). A lot of us may be going through a difficult season. Our team may not be performing too well or we have had some bad breaks (injuries, trades, off-field distractions etc.). Know this though that God has a plan for your life and your season will have an end and then you pick up again. Stay in the game, trust in the Master Coach of your life. God has called you and I to be a winner.
Pardon me while I get back to the game. Enjoy the Season!
