God keeps His promises

The rainbow reminds us of God's promise to never flood the earth again.  What miracles in your life remind you of God's faithfulness?  The email below encouraged me that being obedient to Christ's call is as exciting as a double over-time victory. 
What a game Thursday afternoon between the Calvary Christian Academy Eagles and American Heritage Delray! Both teams gave their all, leading to a double overtime playoff. The Eagles blocked their extra point and then scored a touchdown and the extra point for the win. The best part of the game, though, was watching our boys pray with The Delray team after the game. Looking on, you are amazed to see these boys sharing Christ and praying with their opponents. When my son got in the car he said that four kids prayed to receive Christ! That is what I call an incredible victory! Looking over at the field we noticed a rainbow, and I thought what a blessing. Our school, our football team is part of God’s plan to share Christ and win the lost. And this happened after an intense, exciting, competitive football game.  Awesome! I also wanted to say how really blessed our school is to have such an incredible and dedicated football coaching staff! God has put together an amazing team of men to coach our boys! Way to go CCA!

And, had the CCA Eagels lost, the joy and fulfillment would have been the same because no one remembers a football score a year from now.  But, the boys that asked Jesus into their heart, their lives will be changed for all eternity.
