Wrestling Overtime
May 15, 2024
Wrestling is referenced in Scripture. It’s a one-on-one struggle. In athletics it’s one of the most demanding, intense competitions. Typically, 3 two-minute periods, no back up on the mat, it’s all you. My three grandsons wrestled, were quite successful, and I learned a truth from them. Sitting around my kitchen table after that season of life, one commented and all agreed.
“Overtime” is the worst. Your body is burning, you’ve spent it all, and you’re not done.”
My friend, life is like that. You think you’re about over, and God gives you an overtime. For me it was a calling AFTER I became a widow. It’s ok to enter depleted. Philippians 1: 6 God will energize you and it may be the best season of your life.
