Get Your Game Face On

Are you ready for the big game Sunday? I can guarantee you the players are doing everything they can to ready themselves for this chance of a lifetime. They are eating right, resting, working out, running, lifting weights, stretching, getting their gear ready, watching the opposing teams videos...they are preparing for the fight of their lives on the football field. They have a goal. Win the Superbowl...nothing less is acceptable. They are going to everything in their power to protect the bowl, throw the pass, score the touchdown.

They are going to be on time for the game....no one will be late...they will have eaten breakfast, they'll have their gear on, there will be excitement and anticipation in the locker room, stands and on the field.

Wow! Can you imagine if we protected our families with such energy, dedication and eagerness? Can you imagine if we put on the armor of God, read His Word, prepare for the battle, identify the enemy, anticipate the game plays, study the enemy, focus on the goal, practice for the big day by making good habits part of everyday life? How different would things be?

It's easy to get excited about a big football game, but what about your own family? Ready to take on the big one? Ready to fight with everything you've got? Ready to get suited up for the fight? I hope so.

I can't wait to see you Sunday. Read Nehemiah 4:14 to get your heart and mind focused on what God has for us!
