It\u2019s the time of year where the NFL playoffs start. Basically, there are four more weekends of football. From now on, if you lose you are done. I enjoy watching these games. Especially when my Chiefs are playing. There\u2019s an ESPN 30 in 30 episode titled: The Four Falls of Buffalo. Some of you might remember the story. The Buffalo Bills went to four straight Super Bowls from 1990-1993. Losing each one. Many people around the world called them losers. Hard to imagine looking at a team who plays in the championship game four years in a row as losers. But they were called that. They lost the first Super Bowl to the New York Giants. That was the game that Scott Norwood, the kicker for the Bills, missed a field goal at the end of the game. Wide Right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can imagine, he was devastated. He felt like he let the whole team down. The whole organization down. The whole city down. He felt like he let all of the Buffalo Bills fans down. That\u2019s a lot to take on for sure. But this is not a devotion about Scott Norwood. Not about the Buffalo Bills. It\u2019s about something that one of the teammates told him in the locker room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They knew he was hurting. They knew he felt responsible for what happened. And they told him, \u201cThe Lord doesn\u2019t give crosses to those who can\u2019t bear them.\u201d That made me think of the verse in the Bible telling us we can do all things through Christ. Sometimes we get that confused. Sometimes we think that\u2019s telling us we can do all things. I think that we are wrong viewing it like that. I believe that the Bible is telling us that we can go through anything we\u2019re facing, if we have the Lord in our heart. He will see us through. We can bear the cross that we are going through. And that\u2019s the message that his teammate was giving him. God will see him through. Just like he will see you and me through. Through all things. No matter what they are. He will see us through. Because he loves us. Always has. Always will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
