Well, always, we just don't understand the depth of God's true blessing for our lives.

But you know, he continues the desire to pour out blessings on our lives and that has something to do with what was said before.

If you listen to the word, the desire is that you also respond to the word.

Just a little story to kind of kick it off.

I lived a few different things in my life.

And one of those things I was, I was school teacher for a number of years in California in the Norwalk School District.

I also coached track and cross-country and I enjoyed it.

Greatly.

We were very successful by God's grace and a good hard work and each year that we got ready for cross-country in the spring.

I would give out an invitation for kids to come and take a look at cross country and see if they wanted to come out and join us as a team.

And so, I'd make the call.

And then, I would talk with the athletes that had run with me before.

And I said, please, when you come to the meeting, wear your Letterman's jackets and where all the metals that you earned.

And you know as time went on there were some athletes that had earned twenty or Thirty medals.

And so when they walked into the room, they had all their Championship patches on their sleeves and in the front of their jackets and they would Shake along with the sound of the metals.

Clacking against each other, you know, and all the people that were there to see if they want to shot sign up for a cross-country.

They would see all this happening.

And hopefully it encourages them to respond and to step up and compete attract.

Well, one of the things I told them was if you will do what I ask you to do.

You will win a championship.

I knew this because I knew all the other teams that we competed against over the seasons and I knew that we were a team that did things a little bit differently and part of that was that we work harder than anybody.

Other teams.

We were more prepared to compete out of the seven years that we competed.

We only lost two races in both, the girls in the guy's championships.

So we were a very competitive team throughout the years.

Anyway, the same thing goes for God.
