I Corinthians 15:57-58<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBut thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I attended a small Christian high school in Nampa, Idaho, and played on the football team. Our school, being small, played eight man football with other small schools in western Idaho.<\/p>\n

The big school in town was Nampa High School, home of the Nampa Bulldogs. The coach was the legendary Babe Brown. He led Nampa High to many championships and his teams were always a football powerhouse in the state.<\/p>\n

From time to time, a few members of our team would go out to the Nampa High Stadium to watch the Bulldogs practice. Babe Brown was a hard driving coach and drove his players to levels they did not know they possessed. Once he was running along the sideline near a player who was supposed to be blocking for the runner. I can still remember Babe yelling out to the blocker, \u201cIf you can\u2019t block for him, at least cheer for him!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

What is your spiritual mission in life? Has God placed you in a position to carry the ball, as it were? Or has he equipped you to be one who blocks out interference so the \u201cball carrier\u201d can effectively present the gospel message?<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
