Don\u2019t look or listen now because another catastrophe, another day of record coronavirus reports, another lost life, another angry mob, another negative report is coming from the news-media world. It\u2019s true. What a year this has been and we\u2019re not even halfway through it yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was amused when I looked at some of my New Year\u2019s 2020 blogs \u2013 all hopeful with great expectation, God-is-in-Control, \u201cIt\u2019s-gonna-be-the-best-year-EVER!\u201d I must say, this one has surprised us all \u2013 in so many ways! You know the details so I won\u2019t remind you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, I\u2019m still as optimistic with the great expectations as I was at the front side of this year, because what I said then, is still true now. God IS still in control and we can still believe this can be the best year of our lives. Maybe we’ve had a setback — but that’s when God orchestrates a set-up for the greatest comeback ever. It’s like the trajectory of an arrow that can only be shot by pulling it backwards. And maybe difficulties during this season feel just like that. But we remember — when life drags us back, we’re just getting on the launch pad toward something even greater. The greater the setback — the greater the comeback. I mean, seriously, think about Jesus’ death on the cross. It was a setback, unlike anything the disciples could have imagined. It was over for them and they hid in fear. But joy came in the morning when the greatest comeback ever took place. Jesus rose from the dead and we were the winners right along with Him. He lives to give us His comeback power!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans 6:10-11. “The Spirit of God, Who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, He will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Listen to Danny Gokey’s new song, “Comeback”. I love this rendition and the photos that accompany it:

“This is your time, your moment
The fire, the fight, you’re golden
You’ve come so far, keep going
Oh here comes the comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, get ready for your rocket to fire on all cylinders. Your greatest comeback might just be at the coundown now:
