Football and Faith

If you talk to most anybody who knows something about the game of football and ask them what are some of the most important in the game of football you will probably get a few key answers. Obviously the goal as with any sport to beat the opponent. To win! Beyond that you might hear things such as a great coach, experienced players, dominant offensive line, devastating defense and many more.

Most anyone will also add in to the mix that you have to "move the chains". An understood term meaning that teams must generate first downs- keep moving down the field and ultimately score.

The game of life to me is no different. Just keep movin' the chains and ultimately you will get to your destination. In any given game of football there are setbacks. Fumbles, interceptions, penalties, injuries and of course star egos. Despite all these setbacks and mistakes teams still find a way to "move the chains" and make first downs. Maybe you're feelin' like you aren't movin' the chains in your life. Your not advancing, making goals and succeeding. First let me say, stay in the game! Get a game plan, a strategy and you WILL move the chains.

I love it when an underdog wins and surprises the experts and critics. In fact, it happens just about every weekend in the college and pro ranks. Maybe someone has you believin' that you're the underdog. God is on your side. He loves you and died for the underdog. Stay in the game, He will help you to "move the chains".

I gotta' go- I think I just missed a first down. Later.
