The World Cup which is football’s premier international tournament began on 13 July 1930.
The Second World War disrupted the tournaments and at the end of the war, the next major World Cup took place in Brazil in 1950.
During this competition one of the greatest soccer upsets of all time took place. An amateur American team composed largely of part time players, defeated the more professional polished English team, who were known as masters of the game. . The American team’s victory was so astonishing it was dubbed the “Miracle on Grass.”
Prior to the match, the English team had a record of 23 victories and were hailed as the “Kings of Football”. In contrast the American team had lost their last seven international matches. The ragtag bunch of American amateurs included a dishwasher, two mailmen, a teacher, a mill worker and ambulance driver..
Hardly anyone expected them to win. the British newspapers mocked them and dubbed them hopeless. Even the coach of the American team agreed with the press, telling a British reporter, “We have no chance.”
When the game began, as expected, the English team assailed the Americans with one clear shot after another. But the American goalkeeper, managed to stop them from scoring.
Finally, with less than 10 minutes to go in the first half, the Americans scored the only goal of the match. Although England lashed back with a battery of shots throughout the second half, yet they could not score. So the game ended with the ragtag American team defeating the highly professional English team. Football fans could only liken the American victory to Biblical David who defeated the giant Goliath, against all odds.

In the game of life, the tables can turn at any time. Especially, when you are a child of God, your situation can suddenly change from ordinary to extraordinary and from grass to grace.
When David faced Goliath, he was just an ordinary teenager with no military training, he couldn’t even handle wearing an armor. All he had was a slingshot and five stones. But a slingshot with the favor of God is more powerful than a whole army without it. Truly, victory is not about what you have, but about Who you have. You may be ordinary, an amateur, unqualified, but with God on your side all things are possible to you!
We are often faced with goliaths of financial troubles, sickness, relationship issues etc. No matter how intimidating these situation, be determined to fight the good fight of faith.
You cannot conquer what you do not confront. As a child of God, you are destined for victory. The goliath that comes against you is not there to defeat you. Rather its purpose is to take you to your throne and establish a new level of influence in your life.
Though it may look like a challenge, it is about to bring out the champion in you. Those tough tests are about to birth your greatest testimonies.
Always remember that God has equipped you with the grace, the strength, and the power to triumph always. As you fortify yourself with prayers, study of God’s Word and praise, your victory is sure.
Certainly, through Christ you can do all things! By God’s grace this is your season to conquer every enemy and enjoy unlimited breakthroughs on all sides.

PRAYER:
Father, thank You for en-gracing me and equipping me for success and victory in life. Help me to clearly see the opportunities, You have ordained for me this year and grant me the courage to go forth in faith and triumph always in Jesus’ Name.
