Toronto Maple Leafs V.S. Ottawa Senators
A Battle Far Great
Training and Application
Tomarrow Night, October 4/2006 is a day that many Canadians I know for a fact has written on their Calendars for sure. I know that any Canadian people who are Leafs or Habs fans alike will be watching this game, because the opening game for the Leafs on this night is scheduled as the Ottawa Senators.
The Ottawa Senators team has gained many enemies over the last couple of years, they have become the one force uniting rivalrus fans....These fans being Habs and Leafs fans.
This is not the topic of this blogging though. Something significant has just been completed by these Hockey Players, this significant thing was an oppurtunity for many to fight for their dreams. In the NHL the pre-season has just been completed.
This is something that required much training for those picked to be on teams, something that took tons and tons of sacrifice, countless evenings practicing, dedication to the game itself, Hockey!
Without a doubt it would be worth it, making Hockey a #1 Priority, how fun it would be, how great it would be to reap the rewards and for many young players finally touch the golden stage of the NHL.
As Christians we are part of the ultimate team there is to be a part of, the best part being that if we make truth our #1 Priority, we are automatically part of this team, simply because the sacrifice has already been made, the time put in!
The Priority, Truth, Being God! and then the Sacrifice being His one and only son Jesus.
Knowing what sacrifice these players in the NHL have put thru to their success, they don't stop, but keep on going to pursue the ultimate prize, that being the Stanley Cup.
Our Ultimate Prize is eternity with God, Heaven, promise that because of Jesus we will never again be alone, never again be let down. This is why for the sake of the Sacrifice of Christ, we don't quit now that our training has paid off, now that we are on the team....Let's Tell others about this Team!
In pursuing a college education at Maritime Christian College, I have had to make sacrifice, some that I have regreted, but much of these sacrifices I would not take back for the world, because Christ made the sacrifice first. He took the fall, He endured all, and thought of me, thought of you above all things.
Let us not just sit around, let us live for Jesus.
Let us be Gladiators for His name...Amen!
