I'm still not for sure who I was pulling for in the NBA finals. I'm not really a fan of either team, but I do like and appreciate the abilities of certain players from each team. I guess the naturally-acceptable thing to do is to hate the Heat, but why all the hate? I know it's mostly because three big-time players decided to join together to pursue the title, but did we hate on previous trios such as Bird, McHale, and Parish (Celtics), Magic, Worthy, and Kareem (Lakers), or Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman (Bulls)?
So the Heat won, and here's why I'm blogging about this...
Miami (specifically Lebron) had everyone hating on them, and perhaps rightly so because of the arrogance they displayed when they decided to join forces. Nevertheless, they demonstrated what each of us has the potential to do toward our critics... Show them we can't be stopped! Show them we will overcome, and we will be victorious!
Today, maybe the devil (our biggest critic and enemy) is seeking to ruin your life. He's wants to beat you down, distract you, and leave you feeling miserable. He's calling you a failure and wanting you to believe you won't make it. He says your family isn't worth fighting for. He leads you to think your kids don't really want your attention.
Now, it's time to claim victory and rise to the occasion, but you can't do this in your own strength. It must come from your relationship with Jesus. He is your source of victory, so follow His lead, trust in His power, and claim the victory that He's made available to you because of His love, power, and grace!
