The Underdog!!!

Last night I watched the best football game I have ever seen in my entire life.  I stayed up to 1 a.m. to see its conclusion.  The game was Oklahoma University (OU) against Boise State.  OU was a big time favorite in this game.  I must admit that I was pulling for OU because I have my Master’s degree from OU.  But as the game went on I started to like the heart and soul of the Boise State Bronco’s.  No offense to OU fans and alumni…but I switched sides by halftime and by the end of the game I was supporting the Bronco’s fully.  There is something about an underdog that goes head to head with the giant and prevails.

 During this game I saw the most dramatic finish to any game.  It ended in a tie and then overtime.  In the overtime it looked like OU was a shoe in.  The Bronco’s had to score.  It looked like they were beat and then the scored and went for two.  They were going for the victory…it was all or nothing.  They pulled out a play that will forever be in my memory.  A fake and then a hand off like I have never seen before.  The scored and won the game.

 I guess David’s still do slay the Giants!!!!  What a game, what an illustration.  You are never down until the clock says 0:00 and the score is final.  Never give up people of God.  No matter what God is greater than any of your problems.  He is bigger that the biggest worry or burden.  God loves you and cares for you…being the underdog isn’t always bad…especially when we have God on our side!
