“We Have A Secret”

 

I can remember something that one of our coaches told our team right before we went out on the field nearly 10 years ago.

 

“We Have A Secret”

He went on to remind the entire team that we knew something that no one else knew….that we were pretty good and totally ready for the game we were about to play.

 

Though we were sadly overmatched in the playoff seedings (#15 versus #2), we had made some massive changes to our schemes on both sides of the ball that had adjusted to some injuries and some bad coaching on my part…..and the team had responded.

 

All we needed was BELIEF.

 

And we followed it up with a stunning (to everyone but us) victory in the first round of the playoffs.

 

Today’s society has gotten more evil.

 

We have lost our identity.

We have lost our values.

We have lost our respect for the LORD.

 

As I watched the news today it did nothing but discourage me.

 

A woman was stabbed.

A fifth grade female student was beaten to death in a school fight.  (5th Grade!)

Politicians were yelling at each other.

Very DISCOURAGING.

 

But God knows us.  And He knew this was coming.

 

Romans 5  20 The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.

 

When Jesus carried that cross to His execution, He knew exactly what was necessary to make things right.

 

And so He did what was necessary.

 

He knew that we would become more lost.

He knew that we would become more wicked.

He know that the great deceiver would be more deceptive.

 

But Jesus knew that His blood would be greater.

 

And it is.

 

Do no be afraid to stand up.

 

Your God has given you full access to the throne and when He made this decision, He knew that you would not be worthy of it.

 

My word for myself after watching that news cast?

 

Do Not Be Afraid.

Do Not Be Discouraged.

Do Not Hang Your Head.

 

The fight is already won.  It was won 2000 years ago by a God who knew what was coming yesterday, today, and TOMORROW.……and those with Jesus are on the winning team.

 

We Have A Secret.

 

And All We Need Is Belief.
