The other day I was really thinking about the NBA Finals. I normally don’t watch them because basketball seriously stresses me out. BUT this year the finals have completely moved me. Both teams fight so HARD until they reach the end of the game. Not giving up after the first quarter or even the first loss. It’s inspiring.
You see the drive that these NBA Basketball Players have is very similar to the drive you need to have in life. For example, we all go through things obviously.. it’s life. Because of this we oftentimes feel like we are “defeated.” However, we fail to remember that the game is just getting started. We are running and running with our minds racing for answers and for solutions without looking for guidance from our playbook (the bible). We will then make decisions without speaking to our coach (God) and wonder why things are going left. We are then down at the second half but desperately want to win the game. We may feel like we are not good enough to win, we are not capable of winning or we don’t have what it takes. BUT WE DO. God did not make me nor you to ever lose. God made us for a divine purpose and with him we will ALWAYS win. No matter how far down you may feel you are capable of winning.
Take a moment.. Tell your mind you need a timeout. Go consult your coach for your next move. I promise you he will answer you. Truly listen for his voice so that you really know what to do next. When you know for sure you have heard him step back into the game. Walk with your head held high, and your mind wide open. Take the next step according to your playbook and fight for the win. Who are you playing against you may ask? You are playing against the self-doubt, the struggles you face, the negativity placed over your life and in your mind. And you will win (and overcome). A scripture says that the light (God) shines in the darkness and always extinguishes it. So remember it’s comeback season and with God your comeback will be your testimony. The victory is yours. Lets WIN the game!
