[A Simple Rugby Match]

Here's a rugby story I would like to share .

    On this day, a famous football coach Vince Lombardi faced a difficult challenge :  Where to begin after yesterday's humiliating defeat. There was little he could say to his team that hadn't already been said. There were a few aspects of the game that they had not practiced  and analyzed extensively. The men were professionals. They knew their performances on the field had been atrocious. They were angry,frustrated and disappointed - to say the least.
    In his remarkable manner, Lombardi met the challenge head-on. Picking up the familiar, leather ball, he went directly to the heart of the manner. In a deliberate manner he brought everyone's attention's back to the basics with five simple words ''Men, this is a football''.
     One of his player who understood exactly how badly they needed to review the essentials spoke up, '' HOLD ON ,coach , you're going to fast !''

      And yeah , this story really makes sense to all of us . It's a story that all of us would understand because in times of loss and confusion , we just need to get back to the basics . Sometimes we may get lost in our path withe the Lord and the everyday verses like John 3:16 really brings us in place for God has saved us all.


John 11:25-26 

 ²⁵ Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; ²⁶ and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”


All who believe in Him will never die for we will live eternally in Him ! But still , the bible also says that we are currently BEING SAVED ! confused?

Philippians 2:12 

 ¹² Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

For me , the passage tells me that being saved also means to continue that walk with God ! Which means to continue living for His name ! 

Philippians 1:21

²¹ For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

But are we seriously serving Him for He is God or because we want to be excepted by the Lord. NO ! We should be serving Him for the sake of HIM ! and not to be in Heaven ! 

The message really spoke to me as a reminder to continuously follow Him , to walk in His path

Keep in track , Keep in His tracks :D
