Chapter Eight

Zac was becoming impatient. It was three days before the big game and he still hadn't found anything to use against Troy's team. Jenny wasn't any help either. He had been studying the opposing team for weeks now, but still nothing. He had played videos of the matches that his opposing team had won and still he got nothing.

He wasn't ready to give up yet. He wasn't about to be humiliated by losing a match. He paced about the room, thinking and thinking and thinking. He stared at the computer screen. He stared again. Eureka! Zac had finally found it! He was so happy that he jumped up in excitement. Now all he had to do was tell Jenny about his plan.

"It has to be executed perfectly or I'm not giving you the money", Zac told Jenny.

"Okay. I'll do it but you have to give me the money or else...." Jenny started to say, but was quickly cut off by Zac.

"Whatever. You're even lucky I have given you another chance and this time, don't blow it", Zac said and walked off.

The night before the big game. Troy could not believe that time had flew by so fast. He was anxious, excited and worried at the same time. Troy knew he probably shouldn't have done that, but he couldn't resist resist watching how the opponent team won their matches over and over again. Everyone was right. They were much bigger, tougher and stronger than Troy's team. To calm him down, Troy took a list of his favourite verses and looked them up in his Bible.

Ephesians 6:7

Do your work with enthusiasm. Work as if you were serving the Lord, not as if you were serving only men and women.

1 Corinthians 10:31

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Troy thought about these two verses and was able to relate them to his situation. All Troy had to do was really hard and give it all his best to glorify God. Troy knew he sometimes didn't work as hard as he should but this time, he was going to give it his all, and by doing so, glorify God.
