Louisiana State University players were just standing on the field this Saturday, un-comprehension the only facial expression at their loss. Mentally, reviewing the play … about one foot from the goal line … their center hiked the ball and it sailed right past the quarter back … the quarter back unprepared reached, flailing for the ball as it sailed past him waist high.
The Tennessee crowd roars at the win. Unbelievably they who saw their loss one foot from sure defeat … won! Absolutely amazing.
But wait … the referees are conferring. Three flags had been thrown and the start of the play but because all eyes were on the play no one noticed. Tennessee had 13 players on the field for the play (you’re only allowed 11). It’s not a win.
Incredibly, LSU is going to get a second chance to score. And score they do. Neither team was happy with the outcome. The LSU coach says, “A win is a win” but he never wants to get another win like this again.

Ever feel that way? Like “How can this be happening?” “What happened? I thought I was prepared … but I missed it.” “I thought I was winning … but I lost.”
Hebrews 10:35-39
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. For in just a very little while,
"He who is coming will come and will not delay.
But my righteous one will live by faith.
And if he shrinks back,
I will not be pleased with him."
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.
