Momentum

Quantity of motion of a moving body,"movement, moving power'. Isn't it amazing to watch how the momentum of a football game changes so quickly? The bowl games this year were absolutely awesome. Big hits, great catches, long runs, and one out of every two teams lost, or only half of the teams won. We can play on words to make things interesting, much like the sports analyst or commentators do before and during games. Everyone likes to jump on ole "MO", no one can sit there and watch a 90 yard kick-off return without getting pumped up or deflated. Momentum is not some magical power that shows up at will, momentum shows up for those who are willing to keep pressing toward the goal. Whether in sports or in life, momentum arrives when the "I refuse to give in" attitude keeps reaching higher and grabbing more regardless of the circumstances. Have you noticed when the guy with the ball takes off, how everybody seems to be attracted to him? There is a purpose behind that attraction, tackle the man with the ball. I once carried the ball (sin), God tackled me and I fumbled the ball (sin). There is a great purpose in Gods attraction for you, He loves you and desires to remove the sin that dooms one hell. When the prodigal son returned home, momentum took over in the father, he ran to his son. During this time, people with dignity and wealth would never run in public, if something was urgent they would send a servant to tend to the task. My life was not only urgent, but important to God, He created it for His purpose. The story just wouldn't have the impact had the son ran to the father, ever thought about that? Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn’t think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn’t claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion. Philippians 2:5-8 We have a God that ran to us, now it's time we run to God. In pursuit of the King in two thousand fourteen.
