In Super Bowl 57, my Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38 to 35.  It was an exciting game. The Chiefs had to come from behind from a 10 point deficit at half time to gain the victory.  Trailing 24 to 14 after half time, the Chiefs took the second half kick-off and drove down the field to score a touch down.  They would score two more town downs and a last second field goal to win the game. 

 

However, what is truly amazing is that on the Chiefs last touch down, they scored when the team was lined up in the wrong formation.  Although lined up in the wrong formation, quarterback Patrick Mahomes made the necessary adjustment and threw a touch down pass to a wide open receiver.

 

Beloved, some times life can leave many of us feeling as if we are down and out for the count. And what we may have to overcome seems insurmountable at the time.  And to top it off, every decision we make to get ahead seems to turn out to be the wrong decision. We are in the wrong formation as it were. 

 

Be encouraged, look to the Lord and remain steadfast in your faith in Him.  Jesus is able, more than able to turn every situation around in your favor.  In Jesus, you can gain the victory even when everything seems to be against you.

 

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,”
