Am I Still in the Game?
Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 16:11
Am I still in the game?
It raced across my mind,
With my Coach
Am I still aligned?
When temptations come daily,
And sometimes I give in.
I didn’t plan to,
But I did it again.
But then I remember
Whose team I’m on.
The other side already defeated,
And mine victoriously won.
Through my Coach, Jesus,
This win I’ll keep.
I still am in the game.
The end line over I leap.
— Charles B. Mayes
