Time for a Rebound
Matthew 24:36 (New Living Translation)
36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[a] Only the Father knows.
This past Monday night on MTV’s Run’s House, Rev’s oldest son JoJo was arrested for smoking weed. The show went through the normal ups and downs of the situation and the consequences, but what stood out the most was the family moment at the end. Rev had the family meet in the gym for a game of basketball. He said that even though Jo Jo had made a mistake, he could still rebound from it. He still had time to make a change.
Yesterday’s blog was focused on the people that God didn’t give a second chance too, but today’s message is about those of us still here to repair our destinies. As we all know the Farrah Fawcett and legendary Michael Jackson passed away yesterday. Any unfinished business or unfulfilled assignments on their lives, will have to stay that way. They won’t be able to repair, explain, or correct the things they didn’t get quite right.
The blessing that we have is that we still can. No matter how bad we may have messed up, for whatever reason, God has purposed for us to live another day. If we learn nothing else from this tragic event other than tomorrow is not promised, then we have learned a great lesson.
Today as we prepare to enter the weekend, let us not take another minute for granted. Let us thank God for his second and third chances in life, but let us show God how much we appreciate Him by living each moment for Him. If you missed the shot. Don’t stay down. Get up and grab the ball. And get your REBOUND. R.I.P Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett
