Humbly Asking for Help

How many times have you watched a certain movie. There are some I have watched 10 20 30 times. Sometimes if it is only for a certain part. Now there are also times when you have seen one numerous times and IT hits you, something that was out of the blue (I'll call it Heaven in this case).
To set the stage. The movie is Remember the Titans starring Denzel Washington as Herman Boone the new head football coach of TC Williams during the early 70's . Herman replaced the present and long time coach Bill Yoast.
During the last game of the season TC Williams is playing perennial power house Marshall High School coached by legendary coach Ed Henry. Marshall is whooping up on undefeated TC Williams in the first half and as they are headed to half time it hit me.
As they are leaving the field, coach Yoast's young daughter says to her dad "look coach now ain't the time to be proud" in other words she recognized he needed help and was too proud to ask for it. Just like an innocent humble child and us know it all proud adults right.?
Mark 10:15 says Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."
Here is a simple act of a child to not over complicate things and is not too proud like an adult who thinks he/she can handle it themselves.
Then the classic part as they are in the locker room getting ready to go back out // coach Yoast says to Herman Boone.
" Herman I sure could use your help, Ed Henry’s kicking my ass out there."
This is exactly what us proud Christians should be doing most of the time, swallowing our pride and asking for help.
" God I sure could use your help, Satan's kicking my ass down here."
We think we can handle it ourselves, but guess what? WRONG. Without God you are going to get it kicked guaranteed. Swallow your pride and and humbly ask for help.
We are in a battle / a war/ and it is not a game. Christians are not here just to be nice and safe. It is time to kick Satan's ____ , but guess what? You cannot do it alone.

Pray and ask God for his help. HE is faithful and He lives with us and in us..... the Holy Spirit.
