By this time in the NFL season, no player is feeling 100 percent. Every one is banged up, bruised or nicked on some part of their body. Or maybe you feel like Michael Jordan during the NBA finals against the Utah Jazz, despite having the flu, he suited up and eventually hit the game winning shot. If you are not an athlete, sometimes when you are under the weather, you have to play hurt, going to work anyway.
I have spent the last 3 hours laying in bed with a high fever. Part of me wanted to bag today’s blog, yet the athletic in me wouldn’t let me. According to Colossians 3:23, whatever you do, you should work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord. Although illnesses come and go, sometimes in life you have to will yourself through a day, project or a difficult trial. With the Lord’s help, all things are possible, Philippians 4:13.
As I was finishing up my last project today at work, I nearly passed out. While the weather was a little warmer than usual, my body was telling me that I had nothing left to give. There weren’t any cameras around nor did to I have Scottie Pippen to hold me up. Rather, the Lord raised me up on wings like eagles, Isaiah 40:31, helping to me finish a day playing hurt.
