Victory in Jesus

Congratulations to Adele, Al and all my friends who were rooting for the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. You should enjoy the victory. It's funny but not too many people gave the Giants much of a chance. Most people who claim to know the sport gave in to the fact the Patriots would win even if they had sentimental ties to New York. It was literally a David vs Goliath situation. The strong and mighty Pats were going to manhandle the young and inexperienced Eli and the little Giants.

Well the game didn't exactly go the way it should have. That's because the game isn't played on paper. It is played with real live people filled with emotion and the ability to "gut it out." Yogi Berra was famous for the quote, "It ain't over till it's over" and that was the case last night and it is the case for many things in life.

You see the x-factor in life is our faith in God. We often face huge obstacles that seem to be impossible to overcome. Yet, many of us do walk through the valleys and come out on the other side. We muster up the courage, we find the strength and claim the ability to do things that we never thought were possible. God's promise is that he will be on our side if we call on him. He will be our rooting section and our coaching staff. He will help us find a way.

So if you are facing an impossible situation and everyone has written you off, think about the New York Giants. Yesterday they became more than conquerors and so can you. They may have Eli but you have God.
