The Half-time score is irrelevant

8. Don't give up at half-time. Concentrate on winning the second ...
Today marks the end of June and the end of the 6th month of the year. So I guess we are half way through 2020 - can you believe it? In some ways it feels like we have just woken up from a bad dream and still have another few hours until day-break.

Anyway, I just wanted to remind myself (and you also) that the half-time score in any game is actually not that important. Just because you may be losing at half-time doesn't mean that the game is lost. As Gresham Barret once said: "The most insignificant score is the half-time score."

As we steel ourselves for the second half of 2020 let us turn to the Lord for our strength and guidance. The Bible is filled with examples of people who looked down and out, but who managed to turn the tables with the help of God. Let us not lose heart, but commit all our plans to the Lord and ask the Spirit to strengthen us.

Ezra 10:4 - "Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.”

"Instead of facing a crisis as I approached middle age, I discovered that a new and better life lay before me. I called the process of discovery 'halftime,' and the outcome led to my second half." -Bob Buford
