First Down 1.Cor 4:2 #RTTBROS #Nightlight
Title: First Downs to Touchdown: A Journey of Faithfulness
"Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful." (1 Corinthians 4:2, KJV)
In the game of football, there are two common approaches: being touchdown driven or being first down driven. Many players make the mistake of focusing solely on scoring a touchdown, taking foolish chances and ultimately losing the game. However, those who are first down driven understand that consistent progress, one first down at a time, is the key to success.
This principle applies to our spiritual lives as well. In our walk with God, we often find ourselves tempted to pursue grand, flashy displays of faith or to seek immediate results. We want the touchdown—the instant gratification, the impressive testimony, or the miraculous breakthrough. But God calls us to be faithful in the small things, to trust in His timing, and to make steady progress in our relationship with Him.
The Bible reminds us that "the just shall live by faith" (Habakkuk 2:4, KJV). This faith is not a one-time, all-or-nothing event, but a daily commitment to trust and obey God. It's about consistently seeking Him, studying His Word, and applying it to our lives. When we focus on gaining spiritual first downs—growing in character, serving others, and deepening our prayer life—we create a strong foundation for lasting impact.
Just as a football team that consistently gains first downs will eventually reach the end zone, a life built on faithful obedience to God will bear fruit in due season. As we trust in His guidance and timing, He will lead us to the ultimate touchdown—a life that brings glory to His name and blesses those around us.
So, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2, KJV), and commit to being first down driven. May we faithfully take each step, knowing that as we do, God will guide us to the victories He has prepared for us.
