The Greatest Comeback


“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.”

Galatians 6:9


Considered by many to be the greatest comeback in sports history you almost had to see it to believe it. After being down 33-0 at halftime, the Minnesota Vikings stormed back to beat the Indianapolis Colts 39-36 in overtime and pull off the biggest comeback in NFL history. The Vikings proved a couple of things that day. One, setbacks often break our hearts and wear us out but hanging in there and not giving up will often times reap great rewards and just as important, “You can’t have a comeback without a setback!”  

Have you ever thought, what if your setback was really an opportunity to experience your greatest comeback? You can’t pick up your Bible without reading story after story of amazing comebacks by those who place their hope and trust in God. I think of Joseph, Moses and Job, Samson, Peter and the Prodigal Son. The bible is filled with amazing stories of how God turns our setbacks into comebacks, our tragedies into triumphs. The good news of the gospel is you are never to far gone for God to turn things around.  

What are you up against today, loved one? What seemingly impossible barrier are you facing? Just know, whats impossible for man is possible with God as nothing is too difficult for Jesus! Remember that God is in the business of giving fresh starts to those who are stuck. God gives hope to the hopeless, and direction to the directionless and He is always offering help to those who need. His plans always prevail, even when ours don’t. No matter what kind of disappointment or grief or pain or trouble or heartache we encounter, God always offers us a new beginning, a change of heart, and the chance for a fresh start. God majors in comebacks!

Don’t forget that the greatest comeback in human history was the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave and the second greatest comeback is still on the way when the Lord Himself will descend from heaven and set foot on the Mount of Olives at the Second Coming one day. Until then, there are more amazing comebacks to be had. Today just might be the day for yours!

I LOVE YOU!
