Changing the Game Plan!

I am sure a lot of you saw the Super Bowl on Sunday between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons had the game in hand until they made some errors and changed their game plan. What we should learn especially when we are ahead that we should never change our plan. This is even true when the opposition starts coming back.

In the last part of regulation time before the Patriots tied it and went into overtime the Falcons all they had to do is run the ball like they had done earlier. Even if the Patriots would have stopped them without much gain the Falcons would have won the game because all they needed to do is make a field goal instead quarterback Matt Ryan tried to pass the ball and he was sacked. It put the Falcons out of field goal range.

This tells me that we can’t panic no matter what is happening in our lives as long as we have the edge. If we panic like the Falcons we will probably lose like they did.

We need to believe in the faith that we have that we will still win. No matter the Tom Brady in our lives that is leading the team against us we have been ahead in the game from the beginning so let’s keep doing the game plan. Also we have God on our side if we make mistakes and fumble the ball. We must continue running because that is where we have had the success. We are a team and the other members will make sure that we stay on course as well but even if they fail we are still the team.  We did not get to where we are by losing and falling apart.

That is what I like a lot about team sports. There is so much we can learn from them. Sometimes we may feel like a failure as an individual but our teammates will pick us up if we allow them too. Also we must believe in God the ultimate head coach.
