The Longest Running Draft

Eli Manning was drafted by the San Diego Chargers. John Elway was drafted by the Baltimore Colts. Oddly enough, neither one went with the team that drafted them. WHY? Because they didn't want to play for that team. A more accurate explanation, they had the final say.
Jesus told Peter, "Satan has asked to have all of you" (Luke 22:31). Guess what? Satan wants you too. The good thing is, you have the choice. And the word that had to encourage Peter should also be an encouragement to us - "But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail." You can't beat that for good reprensentation.
