In football, half-time is an important time for many reasons.

Beyond being time for the players to rest and catch their breath after 45 minutes of play, halftime is an opportunity for each team, led by the coach to review its strategy and know how to ensure victory at the end of the next half.

If a team is leading, it has to know how to sustain the lead. If behind on goals, leveling up and getting ahead will be utmost on the part of its players.
If the score is goalless or draw, taking the lead will be its target.

June which is half of 12 months of a year is like half a time in a football match.

It’s a good time to review your plans and aspirations for the year to know how well you are doing and what you should do in the remaining months for the year to end as well as you desire.

Teams leading at halftime sometimes end up losing matches, while those behind on the scoreline can eventually win the match depending on their approach to the second half.

If the first five months of this year have been as good for you as you planned, thank God but don’t rest on your oars.
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning (Ecclesiastes 7:8).

If you are not doing as well as you desire, learn to trust in the Lord who is able to do exceeding and abundantly beyond what we can think or imagine while being diligent in what you want to achieve at the end of the year.

I pray that this year will end well for you.

I pray that God will grant you the wisdom to maximize the rest of the year to excel in your endeavors.

I pray that the Lord will renew your strength to run the race for this year to the end with abundant testimonies.
