#295: But God

<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.</span></em><em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">”</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">– Romans 5:8 (NLT)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On February 5</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, 2017, things looked pretty bleak for the New England Patriots in Super Bowl Fifty-One. By the middle of the third quarter, they found themselves down 28-3 to the Atlanta Falcons. No team had ever come back to win a Super Bowl after such a deficit.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But as can happen in sports across the spectrum, a swing in momentum can change things in a hurry. There would be no Falcons blowout that day. Instead, the Patriots would score thirty-one unanswered points to win the game 34-28 in overtime. As baseball legend, Yogi Berra used to say, “It ain’t over til it’s over.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to a momentum swing in life, two little words can change the outcome…</span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">But God.</span></em></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From Joseph to Paul, we see so many</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">But God</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">moments.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There will be moments in our own lives when the odds seem overwhelmingly against us. Defeat is a foregone conclusion. A comeback? Impossible.</span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">But God</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
