Kyle O'Quinn

Kyle O’Quinn had 26 points and 14 rebounds Friday to lead his Norfolk State team to an unlikely victory over the second-seeded Missouri Tigers in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. After the game, O’Quinn exclaimed, “We messed up some brackets! We messed up some brackets! We even messed up my bracket.”

Sometimes we Christians get the feeling that victory is not likely. It seems that the odds are stacked against us. Abortion is still prevalent. Sexual immorality is becoming more accepted. Injustice can be seen all around us. When God’s name is heard, it is probably being used as a swear word.

However, we are not to despair. The Bible promises that our side will win. 1 Corinthians 15:57 says, “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Don’t pick against Jesus. If you do, he’s going to mess up your bracket!
