Psalm 30:5 “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.’

DAILY READING – 2 Thessalonians 1; Isaiah 25-26; Psalm 117

The “Miracle on Ice” was an ice hockey game, between the U.S and Soviet Union during the 1980 Winter Olympics.
This game was called a miracle because of the surprising win of the U.S team against all odds..
The Soviet hockey team were the super stars who had won the gold medal in five of the six previous Winter Olympics. They had also beaten the U.S in all the games between 1960 and 1980.
And so during the semifinal game of the 1980 winter Olympics, the Soviet team was again clearly expected to beat the U.S.
Moreover, the players in the Soviet team were mature professionals with significant experience in international play, while by contrast, the United States’ team were amateur and untested college players. They were the youngest team in the tournament and also the youngest in U.S. national team history.
In an exhibition game played a week earlier, the Soviet team had walloped the amateur U.S team 10-3.
And so the Soviets were expected to easily skate their way to another gold.

But that was not what happened! In the epic semi-final match on February 1980, the tables suddenly turned.
Initially in the game, the Soviets were leading 3–2, but after the first half, as the second half progressed, amazingly, the amateur US team, began to gain the upper hand.
In the final seconds of the game, an astonished sports commentator for ABC News, Al Michaels, yelled to the Television audience “Do you believe in miracles? YES!”

It became a “miracle on ice,” as the bunch of amateur American players finally beat the renowned Soviet hockey team; 4–3 and eventually carried home the gold medal.
The unexpected victory of the US team became one of the most iconic moments in sports history. Sports Illustrated magazine called it the ‘greatest sports moment of the 20th century’. The International Ice Hockey Federation named it the best international ice hockey story of the past 100 years.

The truth is that in the game of life, the tables are not static, they can turn at any time.
Therefore, if in the first half of the year, it had seemed as if you were not winning in your game, then get ready, because in this second half, something is about to happen!
Indeed the game is about to suddenly change in your favor!

Though you may have been digging with limited results, suddenly, out of the ordinary, God will cause you to strike gold.
No matter the experience of the year’s first half, you are about to take that one step that will put you into overflow.

We recognize that we serve the God of sudden visitations. As we concern ourselves with honoring God, He can suddenly tip the scale of His blessings in our direction.

Indeed by the Blood of Jesus, we have entered into our turnaround season of testimonies. Every sadness is about to be converted to gladness and every disappointment into a blessing. Though weeping may have endured for a night, certainly joy is about to break forth.

The secret to a divine turnaround is to keep making God our number one priority. Certainly when you place God first, you can never be last.
