This was one of my favourite and most beautiful moments of this World Cup. When Messi scored that hat-trick, it genuinely felt like he had you speechless and emotional. I mean how can a human being do that at 39? And why and where did he find this drive and competitiveness?
When the realization hits that what you are witnessing is something really really special, almost miraculous, that feeling gets you emotional. So I really love how Scaloni was reflecting the emotions of the fanbase that night.
And later you realize that Messi was doing this despite the health condition of his father. It makes it even more special.
Dear God, thank You for opening my eyes to see a new week. I'm so grateful to still be here. Your word in Psalm 40:1-2 says, "I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay.
As I step into this week, I invite You to work within me, forgive my sins, and put a new song in my mouth, one that praises You and reflects just how good You've been to me. I'll wait on You no matter how long it takes. In Jesus' name, Amen.
And He has put a new song in my mouth
