On this past Sunday we found out who really came to play football! Some wins, Some losses. If your team lost last week, we hope they win this week.
Fun Fact: Did you know thatThe NFL Pro Bowl has been played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii since 1980 (except 2010 & 2015).

Today for Faith & Football, let’s talk about PEACE.
Where we are in Monroe, LA sometimes we experience what they call a summer holding pattern. It’s the same weather forecast every day, day after day, no change – just a carbon copy of the day before. But then here comes a weathermaker, which brings rain and some minor flooding. Every so many years something major happens like a weathermaker that comes through and changes the whole way that we live for a while.
Life is like that too! There’s some periods of time in life where yesterday is the same as today. Today is the same as tomorrow. Then one day a lifestorm hits our life. POW!!! However when the storms of life come we can draw on the peace of God.
In Isaiah the 26 chapter God promised to give us perfect peace when we keep our mind stayed on him because we trust in him.
In Isaiah the 57 chapter God says he creates the fruit of our lips and then he says peace to him that is far off and to him that is near and he says he’ll heal us.
And get this – He says he has delivered our soul in peace from the battle that was against us for there were many, Psalms 55.
Remember he is our Shepherd. Psalm 23 says he makes us lie down in Green Pastures and leads Us beside the Still Waters.
We can speak peace to our situation. We can command the storm to cease just like Jesus commanded the storm to cease, when he said, ” peace be still.” And we can expect the same Stillness and quietness that occurred when He spoke those words. We can expect the winds to die down and we can expect the Sea of life to become calm again. Just say, ” peace, be still.”
Thank you Jesus!
