There is absolutely no way the best team in the NCAA could even dream of beating the worst team in the NBA? You're talking about men vs. boys.
All the evidence you need to prove God is waiting within you to be discovered.
It is amazing where God will take you when you are willing to follow. Life is full of surprises when we choose mystery over security.

God's ultimate intent is not to leave us faithless, but to leave us faith-full.

God wants to bring us to a place where we have no doubt of the work He has done within us.
