Tony Dungy mentions how fortunate he is to work for the Indianapolis Colts and a man, Jim Irsay who allows him to openly share his heart without apology...Mr. Dungy stated that he often reminds his team of Matthew 16:26, "What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?" (The Message)
another verse that spoke to me yesterday was in regards to having the privilege to share your faith, Jeremiah 15:19 from The Message reads, 19 This is how God answered me:“Take back those words, and I’ll take you back. Then you’ll stand tall before me. Use words truly and well. Don’t stoop to cheap whining. Then, but only then, you’ll speak for me. Let your words change them. Don’t change your words to suit them." then continuing...
20 I’ll turn you into a steel wall,a thick steel wall, impregnable. They’ll attack you but won’t put a dent in you because I’m at your side, defending and delivering.” God’s Decree.
21 “I’ll deliver you from the grip of the wicked. I’ll get you out of the clutch of the ruthless.”Can Mortals Manufacture Gods?
is that good or what? Let your words change them, don't change your words...then...I'll turn you into a steel wall, a thick steel wall, impregnable!...
Tony Dungy's book, 'Quiet Strength' is well worth reading, http://www.coachdungy.com/
