Fool Me Once

Didn’t see it coming…but we will next time!Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7In a recent Big 12 conference game between rivals Oklahoma and Iowa State, the score was tied 3 and 3 near the end of the first half. Now at 4th and goal after moving the ball all the way to the 2-yard line, the Sooners offense brought out their punter and lined up for a field goal attempt. The team from Iowa State was ready to block the kick and take control, but as the ball was snapped, the punter passed it to Oklahoma’s kicker, who ran the ball in for a touchdown.You can bet the Monday chatter in the Iowa Cyclone’s locker room including spotting and preparing for trick plays like that fake field goal attempt.Likewise, our opponent often uses deceit to get us to look away from the truth of who we’re called be in this world, and catches our defense off guard. But when we stay close to God, and become aware of Satan’s tricks and schemes, he’ll stop running those surprise plays altogether.Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7Learn more about this channel at https://christian1057.com
