“So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.” Matthew 14:29

I look for messages everywhere and in all situations. Yes, I found one in the declared number one Super Bowl 2019 commercial. I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, but I did watch the commercial several times. I thoroughly enjoyed it. In case you are wondering which one I am referring to, it’s the NFL 100th season banquet scene where Sam Gordon extends this invitation  … “Want This?  Come and Get It!”

These words remind me of some of the invitations that are extended to us by our heavenly Father.  

• “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
• “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1
• “Incline your ear, and come to Me. hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you—the sure mercies of David.” Isaiah 55:3

The players in the commercial didn’t think twice when Sam Gordon made the offer to “Come and Get It.” They charged, ducked and ran after that golden football as if their lives depended on retrieving it.

This is precisely the way the Lord wants us to go after what He offers us. What He offers is much more precious than a golden football, and our lives do depend on it.

So, let’s be like the NFL players when they are determined to win and also like Peter when Jesus extended him an invitation to “Come.” No hesitations. No questions. No doubts. No fears. They wanted it and went after it with gusto.

Do you want it? Do you want to be revived? Do you want to be refreshed? Do you want to be healed? Do you want to be delivered? Do you want what God is offering?  Then, “Come and Get It!” It’s FREE!

Lord give me the kind of passion for what You have to offer that the NFL players have for football.

In Jesus’ Name

Amen
