In baseball, you bring in the closer, ie. Mariano Rivera, to shut down the opponent and secure the victory for your team. Watching the other series, you noticed that closers were not successful in these situations and that determined the team's ability to advance or go home. Being successful in the "regular" season is just that, regular. Being successful in the "playoffs" is legendary. Not everyone can handle it like others.
When we cruise through our "regular" routines of life, we might think we're succesful and that gets us to a certain level - maybe even the "playoffs" of life. But when we're in the thick of a do-or-die situation in life, do we have the closer attitude and mentality to shut down the enemy and stand in victory? Just like the pitcher on the mound has 8 other teammates on the field and countless teammates and coaches on the bench with him to help get the victory, we have 3 distinct people yet 1 God.
We have the Father God, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit to HELP US shut down the enemy's attacks and declare victory after facing a tough situation in life. You have the power and authority and you have the help. Use it and see how sweet a victory tastes in life.
