Her Ways(wisdom) Are Highways Of Pleasantness, And All Her Paths Are Peace. Proverbs 3:17

I know that those of you have read my blog, you have discovered that I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. He is #1 in my life. But you also know that I love my Michigan State Spartans. Last Saturday, Michigan State played Wisconsin at home. It was Homecoming. Michigan State was the underdog because Wisconsin was undefeated and their previous game they beat Indiana 59-7. So this game was going to be a challenge for My Spartans!
During the week before the game, I felt a real peace about the game. It was like I was sensing that Michigan State was going to win against Wisconsin. I didn’t say anything to anyone but I just “sensed” in my spirit “peace” about this game.
Since the game was an 8:00PM game, I had to wait all day for the game to start. Wisconsin got the football first and within a few minutes Wisconsin scored two touchdowns. It was 14-0 in Wisconsin’s favor. I was beginning to think, that I misread the “peace” in my heart. Then my Spartans got the ball! They fumbled the ball. I just knew that my Spartans were facing defeat! I even turned away from the game for a few mintes. That is right! I was a coward. But I turned back! When I did the defense had caused a fumble. My confidence was coming back. I still felt the peace in my heart!
Michigan State scored 22 unanswered points. I was feeling good! Then Wisconsin came back and tied up the score 31-31. Oh my goodness!
So there are 4 seconds left in the game. Michigan State had the ball! Kirk Cousins threw a long pass into the end zone called a “a hail mary.” The receiver caught the ball. But then the referrees had to review the play to see if the reciever got the ball into the end zone! We had to wait! Then the referree ruled that the receiver did get the ball into the end zone! TOUCHDOWN! We won!
As I reflected on the game and the win, I couldn’t help but to think when we pray and believe the Lord is directing us. The Lord’s wisdom can be determined in our spirit by feeling a sense of “peace” or calm. You have heard people say when something isn’t right, they feel scratchy inside. That is God saying that isn’t His plan. But you have peace but then something happens that goes against what you feel like the Lord is doing. What do you do? You believe in the midst of what you are seeing but more in what the Lord is saying to you!
During that game, I did get discouraged a bit but I kept trusting the peace that I had on the inside of me. That is the key! Trust! You must trust the Lord.
What are you trusting the Lord to do for you? Do you want a love one to be saved and delivered? Are you facing a financial situation that looks hopeless but yet the Lord says to you that it is going to be all right. Has the Lord promised to heal you and you are feeling more pain then you have ever experienced? TRUST what the Lord has told you!
