Champion

I just want to share something I learned from the service this afternoon. Pastor Butch was in the Philippines during the much-anticipated Pacquiao-Morales rematch. At the start of the delayed telecast, a lady who has a son in LA (and therefore already knew who won) took the liberty to whisper to him the outcome of the match. Oops! Spoiler! But let's look at this situation in another point of view.

For the others who still didn't know what's gonna happen, they got very tensed and agitated every time Pacquiao becomes the receiving end of Morales' boxing glove. But Pastor Butch already knew that Pacquiao's gonna win in the tenth round, so whatever happens in between, such as Morales seemingly beating the pulp out of the great Pacman, he's not gonna get bothered anymore.

While watching the game, God impressed upon Pastor Butch that Christian life is like that. Maybe at this time you seem like being crushed by the enemy..you seem to be losing..but take heart, because God has the final say. He is the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, and rest assured in the end we have our victory in the Lord. It's one thing to be fighting for victory, and another thing to be fighting from victory. Free your mind from worry and concentrate on reaching that moment of glory instead.

As for me, I hope I'll remember what I just wrote.
