Falling Short And Missing The Target

After observing the Dallas Cowboy football team for many years, I’ve grown sympathetic at their seemingly inability to score a touchdown when they have the football close to the goal line. There’s an element of “rooting for the underdog” in my compassion for the Dallas Cowboys.

There’s also a certain amount of identification, because I understand what it’s like to fall a little short of a standard or goal. All of us know that feeling — we’ve all been there in various circumstances of life.

The inspired writer Paul, tells us these words here, regarding our falling short of God’s spiritual goal or standard.
