Half-time in the game is for rest and assessment. It\u2019s a time to regroup\u2014to evaluate how things have been going and decide what adjustments need to be made for the rest of the game. Often a team may look like they\u2019re losing at half-time, but by the time the game ends they\u2019ve turned things around and won. Until the final whistle sounds, the game is still up for grabs. <\/p>\n
The same is true in life. If you\u2019re still here, the game of life isn\u2019t over for you. Your clock is still ticking. You have a life yet to live. Not only that, but the first half doesn\u2019t have to determine the outcome of the game. Maybe you\u2019ve made mistakes, experienced disappointments and failures. Maybe life has dealt you a harsh blow here or there. But you are still here\u2014and as long as you are, the whistle hasn\u2019t blown and it\u2019s not too late for God to take you straight to the plan He has for you. <\/p>\n
You see, God looks at your future while the enemy tries to keep you focused on your past. God says, \u2018You can,<\/i> in spite of what\u2019s been done!\u2019 But the enemy says, \u2018You can\u2019t,<\/i> because of what you\u2019ve done.\u2019 God will never define you by your past, whereas the enemy will try to control and confine you by using it against you. Whether the good, the bad, or the ugly dominated your first half, Satan\u2019s goal is to keep you chained there. God, on the other hand, wants you to learn from your past\u2014not live in it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
