What do you think when you hear the song take me out to the ball game? Do you think of the Seventh Inning Stretch of a Blue Jays game, a memory of playing baseball with a parent, the most annoying song ever created or the best day of your life?
This past Saturday I was at a Blue Jays game with some good friends of mine. It was cold, I had a headache and there was an annoying child sitting next to my friend but despite that, it was still a fairly good time. The Jays won in the second extra inning, and it was by a home run. The Jays got 4 home runs that game out of the 5 runs they had. I love baseball, but there was video played during the game that had a player talking about the game of baseball and how that is there life. I though about how my life is my faith in Jesus Christ. When I thought more about this I thought of the wins and the losses. We each have these in our daily lives, but if we are living fully for Christ then although we may fall and fail in the end we will have ultimate victory in Christ who had ultimate victory over death.
2 Timothy 4:7 says "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith". As we continue through each day, fighting the battle that is set out before us, let us praise God in our victory and in our losses. Let us praise him in our struggles and in our happiness, because He is with us and it has already been won. Let us give to God our all, so that we can fully live with the Holy Spirit as our guide, and fully live for God.
