Today was a day of a pretty epic soccer game. I and 5 others of the best players among my friends got together and player for 2 and a half hours against 6 other random people. In fact, the last thirty minutes of the game were lit only by the street lights on the road.
The first half took up the bulk of the game lasting a full two hours. It was fast paced and extremely hard fought. The teams were pretty evenly matched as no one seemed to score in the beginning. However, things started looking downhill for us as we were losing at the half.
At this point everyone was fatigued and only wanted to go home. Yet the first team to score ten points won the game. We were down but there was something that we know, if we could only outlast them, we would win. At this point, persistence was more important than skill.
We ended up scoring six unanswered points and winning the game. When we look at our sin, things may seem like they are going downhill. They may seem as we will be defeated. But God calls us to be persistent in seeking Him, for through Him all things are possible. Know this, persistence in Him will ALWAYS bring victory in the end!
