The image that opens this article is an example that, when a person wants to do something, he finds a way. <\/span>This is one of the many photos that were taken during the football game played between the Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts, on December 10th.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The match took place under incessant rain and snow, which started before the <\/span><\/span>time of the game<\/span><\/span><\/a> and only ended after it ended. <\/span>Even so, the teams fulfilled their role as professionals. <\/span>The surprise was precisely due to the crowd, which, without being paid to attend, filled the Bills’ stadium, with exactly 60,222 fans present.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The temperature in the city of Buffalo (New York, United States) that afternoon remained between -3\u00baC and -5\u00baC. <\/span>As it is an open stadium, the thermal sensation in the place varied between -5.1\u00baC and -10.3\u00baC.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“This is amazing. <\/span>It’s the worst situation with snow that I can remember\u201d, wrote journalist Sal Maionara, who worked on the match, on his Twitter account. <\/span>“Given the snow accumulation on these people, I just hope they’re still alive.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, no incidents were recorded due to the temperature and snow at the start. <\/span>Those who really wanted to go to the stadium went and saw a rare spectacle. <\/span>The question remains:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to do something, what can stop you?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, bring this situation <\/span><\/span>into your reality<\/span><\/span><\/a> : do you really have the willpower to seek God?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t go to church today because it’s raining.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t go to the Sunday morning meeting because I slept too late on Saturday.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday I don’t go to church because the sun is burning.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday I don’t have a car, I’m not going to the meeting.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The reasons for missing the commitment established with God are countless, but, in fact, most of them are just excuses.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As Bishop J\u00falio Freitas explains in his blog, many \u201cbefore considering the things of God, consider their own daily tasks, their own desires, possessions, problems or unresolved situations. <\/span>They are those who value God only when they need or are interested in obtaining some blessing, disregarding Him as a Person.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For those who want to miss the meeting, any small task becomes an unavoidable commitment. <\/span>People often choose to dedicate themselves to real waste of time, instead of dedicating themselves to God.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is necessary to understand who the receiver of our time is. <\/span>For example: a person who spends hours visiting social networks or surfing the internet is a person who is directing his days to something, almost always unproductive. <\/span>After all, what do you get for checking every <\/span><\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/span><\/a> or Instagram notification?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The same happens with those who become addicted to television, magazines, games, etc. <\/span>These receptors are consuming all their time, that precious time that could be given to God to obtain positive results through faith.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That’s why it’s so important to reevaluate your behavior honestly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bishop J\u00falio Freitas directs readers to answer the following questions:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cList your priorities in order: God? <\/span>His family? <\/span>Your job? <\/span>When you go to church: Are you just ‘body present’? <\/span>Actively participate? <\/span>Listen and practice?”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
