I did not watch the World Series this year, but I did enjoy learning the Atlanta Braves won it after having a losing record at the All-Star break.
It's one of those stories that reminds you there are positive reversals in this life.
Actually, there are a lot of great reversals... and you can trace them all the way through the Bible.
Consider a few of them:
- Joseph was elevated from falsely-accused prisoner to prime minister
- Moses led Israel Out of Egyptian slavery to the threshold of the Promised Land
- Saul of Tarsus became Paul, going from a persecutor to an Apostle
- and of course, Jesus went from being crucified as a criminal to the resurrected Lord who now reigns over all
Reversals like these convey a message to remember...
You never know what God is going to do in the story He is writing, so you better stay faithful in the part He's called you to play.
