Have you ever looked at the scoreboard, predicted the outcome and left a game before it was over? There are times when we leave early and find out that what seemed obvious changed and the outcome was different than we expected. Sometimes when we leave early we miss the good part! Nobody likes to miss the good part!
Often, we leave an event or an activity early to avoid traffic or to make another appointment on time. When such an occasion comes we try to stay until it appears that we have entertained the climatic moment and the conclusion is predictable.
Often our favorite team is losing the game. The final minutes of the contest are approaching but it appears the outcome won't change. In our car radio we hear, the good part!
Miraculously our team comes from behind and wins! We left before the good part!
Often we leave a movie early, after it appears that the outcome is obvious, only to learn that we left too early! It had a totally different and surprising conclusion. We missed the good part!
Our hero was losing the boxing match in every round. His face was mauled and he appeared spent. We couldn't bear to watch any more and left before the match ended. We learned later that in the last round our hero rose up with a mighty gust of power and defeated his opponent. Again, we missed the good part! That's the way it is in life too. There are many who have been counted out because they failed but were saved at the end by the Grace of God. Today, there is someone expecting you fail. Surprise them! Be confident, bold and assured that today, you and God are going to make it happen.
