Parents and Students,September is here! With this month comes great times of tailgating, grilling, and football on the high school, college, and professional levels. This time of the year is one of my favorites as I spend time with friends and family and watch quarterbacks adjust to the adversities of each opponent as they try to lead their teams into the end zone and ultimately to victory.
With that in mind I want to remind you, and myself, that Jesus is leading us onto victory. He is our star quarterback, our team captain, and the game is in His hands. When you and I humbly receive the Lord Jesus He receives our lives; His game plan becomes our game plan, and our old game plan no longer matters.
The fact of the matter is we get “drafted” onto “team Jesus” and before the season opener even starts the national championship title has already been clinched! Are we going to face tough opponents? Yes. Are we going to fumble the ball at times? Yes. But our eternal victory is not based on our performance (Eph.2:8-10), but upon His accomplished work on Calvary (2Corinthians 5:21)! YES!
David wrote in Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” A lamp won’t show enough light to get you 100 yrds, but it will show you enough to step where you need to. God’s Word is our playbook for life. Let's get into God’s Word and allow God’s Word to get into us. Then we can adjust our lives to Jesus, our team captain, as He leads us onto victory!
In His Steps,
SB
