Take Up The Challenge.

In 1989 The New Zealand All Black went to Landsdows Road to play against Ireland. Before the game the traditional Huka was performed by the All Blacks players.

The Huka is effectively a native war dance and was used to challenge other Warriors to a fight or dual. It has become a big rugby tradition for teams such as New Zealand, Samoa and Fiji to perform the dance before a rugby match to set the challenge for the opposition.

Most times the Huka is performed the opponents will stand in a line to watch the challenge before taking they re place ready for kick off. But in 1989 Ireland went one step further in accepting the challenge.

What the Ireland Team done that day was put the challenge back to New Zealand.

Most recently Wales accepted the challenge at the Millennium Stadium. After the  Huka they Didn't move and refused to move until the All Blacks had Backed off.

You Know Sometimes we all face challenges and its how we respond to those challenges that can determine the outcome. Maybe its not all about war dances or trying to beat one another. It can sometimes be about keeping calm and stepping back to look at things from a different angel.

On the other hand there is a time to step up to the challenge and Take it on. These challenges are won with guts and determination.

Challenges are things that we may find difficult. Being challenged can be a uncomfortable situation. To challenge someone else could be putting them in a bad situation.

Does God set us challenges? Maybe. God doesn't set us challenges to put us in an uncomfortable situation (though sometimes it may feel like it). God sets challenges that however impossible they may seem, it is actually total achievable.

Why Not take up those Impossible Challenges and work on them with God? because with God all things are possible and even with the Smallest of faiths and the most tiniest belief God Works with you to achieve.

Like Brian Moore said ''Its a Challenge and there to be accepted, Accept it and make sure you then Back it up''

What he was saying was accept the challenge and then put 100% into your Game. if you Win great but if your don't it doesn't matter as long as you've given 100% effort.
