Yesterday's college football slate included one of the best games we are likely to see this season between the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans. Around 110,000 people were treated to a slugfest between two mighty behemoths of the college football landscape. In the end there was a great lesson to be learned, even if you know nothing about football.
This heavyweight matchup was tight throughout with Michigan's Wolverines holding the advantage throughout the game. With just under 2 minutes remaining the Spartans looked to be finished having given the ball back to the maize and blue and holding only one timeout to stop the clock. As it happened they fought through to the final play which will go down in the annals of football history as one of the most unlikely endings of all time. With 10 second left Michigan was set to punt the ball away which would have run out the clock. Fate however stepped in as the Michigan punter muffed the snap fumbling into the hands of a Spartan defender who returned it for the game winning score as time expired.
The lesson here is persistence, seeing our efforts through to the end. This is the way we should all work and live especially as Christians. We will be engaged in many battles with a difficult enemy but if we will persist, in the end we can know victory. With God we will. . . Persist.
