Fussers Or Fighters - Devotional - Junior Boys - Adults

Fussers Or Fighters

It must be very disappointing  for a football player, who's all pumped up to play the game, ready to go, ready to win, to be wiped out by the enemy on the first play of the game.  He has to set on the bench and watch everyone else do what he was dreaming of, play the game he loves.  All he can do is pray and cheer his other team members on to the win.  He may miss out on a few games because of the injury because injuries need to heal.

Now a true leader will show a good spirit about himself  even when he himself has lost hopes in getting to play.  He will set on that bench and be the best bench sitter he can be.  He won't sit their pouting...He will sit their praying and showing a positive attitude that will help his fellow football players fight for the win.

I knew of a Christian who was discouraged, not by an enemy, but by another Christian who made a false judgment , and accused him.  The Christian who passed judgment went to many others and spread the accusation  and single handedly benched a faithful player who wanted to win.  He was taken out by a teammate.  

I guess you can say, the enemy blindsided him through a friend and as a result the injured warrior sets on the sidelines until he's spiritually well enough to lead again. 

Sometimes we go through disappointments that are designed to try our faith.  We have a choice at these times to be either fussers at the sidelines or fighters at the sidelines.  I want to be a fighter weather in the game or setting on the sidelines.  That's what I want to be, that's what I pray to be.

How about you?  Have you been hurt out on the field....are you fussing, or are you fighting to be the best you can be where ever you are?   Where ever you are, attitude can either give you the win or give you the loss.  Be a leader in the game and be a leader on the sidelines.

Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

Go Forward! - Junior Boys To Adult

Go Forward!

It must be very disheartening for a football player to fumble the football while being wide open for the winning play, to find the enemy has intercepted the ball and brings it in for a celebrated touchdown.  Dropping the ball when everyone is counting on you and every eye on you is not fun.  How miserable the moment must be.

 Knowing there is still time on the clock, to get the win, is always comforting.  Time to come back for a win for the good guys.  Keep on going forward, keep with the game in spite of failure or disappointment.  One messed up play does not make you a bad player.  

There will be times in our Christian walk that we will fail to deliver, we are human, we are dust and can never live perfect enough for other people because we are not perfect.  We will have fumbled plays, We will be a disappointment to someone, We will make wrong choices,  but the game is not over when we mess up, it's only lost when we quit.  As a Christian we must not only forgive others but forgive ourselves.  Go forward for the win in the Spiritual battle.  Lift high His royal banner as a winner for Jesus.  Striving to live the life Christ wants you to live, through preparation, study and meditation of the Word.

As Children Born Into God's Family

We ARE, on the winning team.  It's been fixed since eternity began.

Proverbs 24:16

For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.

The "Want To" - Junior Boys To Adult

The “Want To”

When a guy is playing football he’s not going to go out there and say o’well it doesn’t matter if we win or loose.  No, he’s going to say “We ARE going to WIN this game!”  He’s not going to go out there and do a halfway job.  Why go out there and face the enemy and not care if you win or not?  The “want to” is going to be there and better be or your going to get run down by some really big guys.

Your not going to go onto a field filled with rough tough football players and not put on your protection.  Your going to need a helmet and pads, some good running shoes, you’ll need a good water supply nearby and a towel to wipe your brow. 

Listening to the coach, knowing the plays and team work are essential to being a winning team.  The screaming MOM in the bleachers or family cheering you on,

encouraging you to be the best you can be is highly effective in letting you know you are counted on to GIVE IT YOUR ALL.

Everybody has to do their part.

In our Christian walk we need to want to win.  We need to strive for the prize.

The “want to’ better be there and if not, you will be run over by the enemy and defeated.  Don’t go into the Christian life giving a halfway effort.  Yes, we will fail sometimes, but don’t lose sight of what’s important by dwelling over your failures. 

You need to prepare yourself for the battle by wearing your helmet.  The helmet of salvation.  You need to KNOW you are saved, be secure in it.

You need shielded, have faith in what God can do through you and in your life.

You need your weapon—The Sword OF The Spirit - Memorize scripture, it is your sword.

Put on the biblical protection God teaches us about in - Ephesians 6:11-13

Ephesians 6:11-13

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Listen to the pastors preaching, and learn from other Christians.  Remember we are all human, give grace as God has given you grace.  Want to win, want to serve, want to be the best Christian you can be. Encourage others to be their best.

Live to win,

to win in your Christian walk...To win the prize,

The prize you will set at your Saviors feet.

Now Go Out There 

And Win - While Walking With The Savior

He Is The Living God Of All Creation - Children's Song

Listen To The Song Here:

He Is The Living God Of All Creation

God is not a rock, a plant or a tree;

But is the God who made all of these.

He's not the sky, the stars, or the sun;

He is the great God of all creation.

God is not a cat, or cow or a man;

But creator God that had it all planned.

He's not a statue of a saint of old;

Nor is He money or things or gold.

He is Mighty Holy Creator King;

Maker of life, earth, and everything.

 And deserves more than just appreciation.

He is the living God of all creation;

God is not a false god, who cannot hear;

God is not an idol, like the famous cheered.

God must be given our love and first place;

None should be given his glory or praise;

He deserves our praise and our devotion;

He deserves our all, not just a notion.

And deserves more than just appreciation.

He is the living God of all creation;

I Love The Things That God Has Made - Children's Song

I Love The Things That God Has Made

I love the things that God has made;

The small, the tall, the big, it all.

It's evidence how great God is;

And I'm so glad,  I'm one of His.

Each bug, each thing that has some wings;

Each one that has a noise that sings;

Each flow'r that blooms within the world;

I'm so glad God made, all living things.

The elephant that swings his trunk;

The cute adorable stinky skunk;

The spider that can spin his web;

The croaking frog that goes kurplunk.

The sky and all the paintings high;

Each cloud that I have watched pass by.

A breeze upon a summers day;

And all the chirping birds that fly.

The zebra and the antelope;

And plants that are an antidote.

I have to tell you God's creation;

And God Himself , will get my vote.

We should love all -God's creation;

And His grace His - great salvation.

Give him praise and glory always;

And our highest, accla-mation.

I love the things that God has made;

The small, the tall, the big, it all.

It's evidence how great God is;

And I'm so glad, I'm one of His.

It Was A Zoo On Noah's Boat

It Was A Zoo On Noah's Boat

 The cow went moo.

The horse went nay.

The little lambs were at their play.

The cat went meow.

The bird went tweet.

The monkey found some bugs to eat. (mmmm)

The pig went oink.

The rooster crowed

Then hopped along a great big toad. (hop)

The lion roared.

The cricket chirped.

The brown baboon let out a burp.  (burping sound)

A big black bear;

A mother goose.

Animals, animals, everywhere

The rain came down.

The ark did float;

It was a zoo

On Noah's boat.

Children's Song

Genesis 7: 7-9

 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
