Only Know Winning
I was just thinking about last nights results of "Dancing with the Stars". I don't know about you, but I was surprised at first. I really thought that Gilles or Melissa were the better dancers, but then I got to thinking about something that Shawn had said a couple of weeks ago. In her some what non-descript way she said something to this effect, 'I am going to win that mirror ball trophy, because I only know how to win, or I only know winning'. Anyway, it was something like that. She said it with such calm confidence, with such a knowing. . . nothing cocky, but just with such assurance.
Ok, you might be saying, 'so what'. Well, I got to thinking about what my sister said to me about people with an olympic attitude. She said, 'the mental edge these competitors have, that the average Joe does not, is that they know that power of inner thoughts.'
When was the last time that I talked to a Christian with such an attitude? When was the last time that I had this kind of attitude? What is so sad is that Christians should have the most winningest attitude of all. Eph. 3:20 tells us, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Prov. 23:7 says, "For as he/she thinks in his/her heart, so is he/she." Phil 4:8 tells us what to think.
According to the Word, we should have this power, right now, inside of us. We should be the ones to know like David against Goliath, or Shawn Johnson against Gilles, or Melissa, that we can win at whatever we set our minds to do, or what God has called us to do. I just think that we are missing it somewhere. What do you think? God's people of all people should KNOW that we are WINNERS!!!
Are we winners or not???
