The Game Plan

Theme: The Game Plan

Quote: Plan Ahead. It was not raining when Noah built the ark. (Richard Cushing, Archbishop of Boston)

If you were one of the 120 million people that watched the Super Bowl, you probably noticed some of the coaches walking the sideline with laminated papers and wearing headsets. If you were one of those watching not just to see the $7 million commercials, to see what Taylor Swift was wearing, or to see if Usher was going to sing “Yeah!” at halftime you may wonder what was on those pieces of paper.

Those papers held the results of the coaching staff’s game preparation or the Game Plan. It was the action plan that those in charge believed would put their team in the best position to win the game.

For our lives, our “laminated papers” are the Bible. It has the parameters we need to live a successful life in harmony with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God put the plan together; the offense and defensive schemes as well as the method to prepare for the competition. But none of that does any good if, as the players on the field, we don’t study the plan, so we are ready for the game.

So that is our part. Study! If you are not already doing so, think about making a 90-day commitment to studying God’s game plan for us.

Have a great week!
