Everyone can and will be blindsided at some point in life...that is a fact. I love the new release blindside, everything about it actually! When the narrator is talking about the job of the lineman to cover the quarterbacks blindside, that may well be my favorite part.
In life I have one that not only covers my blindside from the enemy, but also every now again blindsides me himself, with an unexpected blessing in the same way he protects me from the devils blindside attempts to destroy me. I sit now in a quandry wondering, is the protection or the blessing a greater show of his love? It doesn't take long to realize they go hand in hand!
One sets up the opportunity for the other. As I write this at the earliest beginnings of Resurrection Day, I know there will never be a bigger display of his love for me then when he allowed himself to be lead up Golgotha's hill and be stretched out on an old rugged, blood stained cross. The biggest display of love and blessing to all of mankind, at the same time protection, safety from the sin that will inevitably take each individual down to utter darkness without hope unless, we first admit it, second realize his payment for our sin is the ONLY acceptable one in God's eyes. Satan failed to see it, even if he knew the ramifications to himself and all those he takes with him, he was certainly blindsided by salvation, Jesus made an open show of him when he went down into hell itself and took the keys to hell and death,therefore saying O death where is thy sting because he removed it. He was victoriously triumphant, Satan was helpless to stop him. He couldn't stop him from rising, or the stone rolling away to release him I am sure as he rose to place the blood on the mercy seat in heaven, try as he may, he could not stop Christ, he was free of death and he was presenting the blood upon the mercy seat to the father in the holy of holies, to secure our freedom as well..................... Yes I would definitely say Satan was blindsided on that day, and in his fury he attempts to blindside many on a regular basis with an array of lies..... from you have plenty of time to a loving God would never send you to hell and every other lie in between whatever your leaning. It is our job to protect our fellow man kinds' blindside..through prayer, telling the good news far and near, living out an honest loving life before them, and always giving an answer of the hope that lieth within us. Paul is right if we have hope only in this life and Jesus did not rise again, we are of all men most miserable......PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME...He is not here He is Risen and I too will rise when he calls my name.....................to be blindsided by the blessings of heaven for all eternity!
