Fw: There Is a Crowd Cheering You On

Team:

Here is a great call by today's Coach Adrian Rogers.

When I was playing Football we would run Wind Sprints right after practice.

The one we dreaded the most was "Gassers and Lines."

This conditioning helped us in the 4th quarter. When the game was on the line we knew we were prepared to be prepared and in better shape then our opponent.

The Coach would not allow us to bend over if we were exhausted. On Defense we Stood Tall between each Play. We were not to show any sign of weakness.

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time."

Thomas Edison

"I have missed more than nine thousand shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On twenty-six-occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot - and I missed. I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is precisely why I succeed."

"Never Ever Give Up!"

Now - Just Go! Win the Day!

There Is a Crowd, Cheering You On

Devotional thought from the messages of Adrian Rogers

BIBLE MEDITATION: "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith." Hebrews 12:1-2a DEVOTIONAL

THOUGHT: There are a lot of athletes with natural ability, but what is it that turns a mediocre athlete into a gold medal champion?

One athlete is willing to hurt more than the other.

When you can't take another step, your muscles are sore, your body is aching—this is what it means to be running the race with perseverance, as mentioned in Hebrews 12:1.

You are bearing up under tremendous pressure. You are running to build endurance.

ACTION POINT: Today you may be hurting because a family member, coworker, or classmate has been unfair to you. A spouse has left. A friend walked away.

Perhaps you were passed over for a promotion. Run with patience. Look to Jesus. Building a faith that will go the distance takes both patience and time.
