Haven't posted in a while. Taking a break from the Smoothie Bar launch to update my business trip to NYC.
“Come On” The Invocation of the Spirit
At five foot six inches tall, fellow Georgian Melanie Oudin is a small package who faces tennis Goliaths. She stands strong with her short frame resting on shoes emblazed with the words “believe” on their soles. The overnight tennis darling bellowed her birth onto the world stage by battling her heralded opponents and shouting “COME ON.”
Unlike the cockier direct challenge inviting a foe to “bring it;” this beckoning is directed within. Oudin’s come on suggests a young women who knows of the spirit of God placed by God within each of us. This call of strength from within is familiar to Christians who are battling a foe of persons or tribulations. We exhort “help me Jesus,” and pray “…come Lord like a mighty rushing wind.”
When we invoke Him, coupled with dedicated effort on our own part, He does not fail us. In life, in work, and in faith our prayers are answered when we supplicate. In your next battle, even before you place your feet on the floor to start your day, Call on Him! …COME ON!
