“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  November 7, 2007

 

          Those of you who are Packer fans had faith that it would happen – those of us who are Bronco fans, feared it would happen … and it did.  Immediately after the kickoff in overtime, Brett Favre wound up and fired a game-winning touchdown.  It didn’t take long and Monday Night Football was over.  People can say a lot about the Packer great; but, maybe the greatest thing that can be said about him is as long as there is time, there is hope.

          The ability to have faith in someone transcends a little boys game for big bucks, there is an eternal element to it.  If we have faith that God can make anything right our lives can be changed forever.  If we believe that as long as there is life, God can deliver us, we have hope that something wonderful can happen.  Some people might mock our hope; but, when we have faith that God is alive and well just think about how secure can we be in our belief!  Maybe the greatest assurance comes from our opponents, the demons who, “… also believe, and shudder” (James 2:19)

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
