Even mediocre teams have respectable records at home, but it’s the away games that make the difference. If a team can’t win on the road, there’s no hope of post-season play.
You know, the same is true about our lives. Some people have winning records at home or in their hometown. They lead lives of character and integrity. But when they hit the road, the temptations are stronger and the idea that “no one knows me out here” makes it easier to let down their guard and do things they’d never do at home. Someone said the true test of character is what you do when no one is watching. Some of you are hitting the road this morning. You’ve got a meeting in another city, you drive truck over the road, or you’ve got a sales route that takes you all over. Here is a promise from God’s word that will help you win on the road this week, found in 1 Corinthians 10:13. “There is no temptation overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” God will make a way of escape from the temptation. Trust God to keep you from falling. Don’t leave your integrity at home. You’re a champion! You’ve got to have a winning record at home and away from home. Come back home victorious from this road trip! God bless you and have an awesome day! |
