Oooeeeee! So close!

Ooooohhh!  It was so close but yet so far!  2 balls from SA remaining with 5 runs needed by New Zealand and they smacked it for a 6!  Heart break for SA but joy for New Zealand in front of  their home crowd. 

On the team sports field there is always one looser and one winner.  In the spiritual realm that's no different.  Satan looses, God wins, it has been scripted from the dawn of time.  That is why we can boldly proclaim, "Christ in me, the hope of Glory!"  We know the end and in the end, we win! 

But take that down to a very personal level into our everyday lives.  The devil will do anything, I mean anything, to break our spirit and destroy our morale.  That's when you need to look yourself in the mirror and boldly proclaim:

• Devil, you're a liar, I am already victorious in Christ!
• I am capable of achieving anything I set my heart to!
• I am God's unique creation, beautiful in every way! 

That's right, time to talk like a winner!
