The skies can be more cloudy on days that should be bright. But for reasons we don’t understand, the setbacks can be comebacks: first downs, second chances.
Today is one of the biggest events in sports – the Super Bowl.

It’s a time when the best of the best come together to compete for the title of “Champions.” You’ve got the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs.
As we all know, football is a game of strategy and teamwork, where every play, every yard, and every first down counts. The team that earns the most points will hoist the trophy and claim it as a victory!
Just as in football, life is a game with its own set of challenges, setbacks, and triumphs.
And just as in football, we all have opportunities: first downs, second chances.
“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 3:13-14
The K.I.S.S. ~ First downs, second chances!
In life, there will be times when we feel like we’ve missed the mark. We may feel like we’ve lost a game, or that we’ve failed to make the first down.
But the good news is that we always have a second chance to get back up, to keep moving forward, and to press on towards the prize.
Just like in football, you’ve got to keep straining toward what is ahead (to make progress and move forward), one yard at a time.
“One step at a time leads to miles of greatness!” ~ Kristianne Wargo
You must keep our eyes fixed on the prize, and never give up. Trust in the Lord and His plan for your life, even when the path ahead seems uncertain and you can’t see the staircase.
The greatest risk is faith!
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” ~ Hebrews 11:1
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” ~ 2 Corinthians 5:17
This means that, in Christ, you have the opportunity for a fresh start, a new beginning, a second chance.
You don’t have to be held back by your past mistakes, your failures, or your setbacks. Instead, you get to press on towards the prize, knowing that in Christ, you are a new creation.
And there because of that, there are new mercies every morning.
With the anticipation of the Super Bowl, let us remember that in life, God makes all things possible. You can have those first downs even when you feel like you’re on the sidelines or not even in the game.
And never forget, with God, nothing is impossible: first downs, second chances.
This is the day that the Lord has made for you to make progress and move forward, one yard at a time, to trust in the Lord, and in His plan for your life.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11
PRAYER: May the Lord bless your setbacks so you can reach our heavenly comebacks here on earth!
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
