"In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east." - Zechariah 14:4
I love football season--the fans cheering, the big games, the great rivalries. With every new season there's always anticipation and hope. Will the players rise to the challenge, or will some bad play cost the team a game? Or even a season? And certainly no play in football is more important than the touchdown...the goal of every drive.
Did you know the Bible speaks about a touchdown, the greatest touchdown ever? It's something Jews and Christians alike will agree on. The Bible says it's going to happen just as time is running out, at the end of the game. The Messiah is going to touch down on the Mount of Olives in Israel. The Scriptures teach us the great touchdown will occur by a man named Jesus.
He's coming for those who are on His team, and to judge those who are not. His touchdown will mean victory for His team, and lasting defeat for the opponents. The question is, are you going to be one who celebrates His touchdown, or one who loses the ultimate game of life?

Yes, report it NevermindSometimes I wonder about this world; the things we celebrate most. Just think about our own country, which has been so richly blessed. On any given autumn weekend, literally tens of millions of us expend hundreds of millions of dollars and unimaginable energy and excitement over a game.
Don't get me wrong; I LOVE FOOTBALL SEASON! But, doesn't it say something about our culture that we can elevate it to such a level?

Yes, report it NevermindI also enjoy football but I am not much on professional sports anymore. I used to be one that had a couple of tv's and a radio on at one time listening to games. I guess I am getting older because I don't stay interested in very many things for a long period of time anymore, but when it comes to Gods word I am getting more and more hungry for it every day. Even when I go to the woods hunting I have my Bible with me on the stand, I guess that is why I am not seeing as many deer as I used to, they are more safe this way. I am longing for that touchdown that Bryant spoke about in this devotion. God bless everyone.

Yes, report it NevermindThose are good metaphors Jerry. We hunger and thirst for his word. He is the bread of life and the living water from which we will never thirst again..
As the hart panteth after the stream, so does my soul pant after thy word........
