3 – I see a similar idea at Philippians 3:12b-14.
- I press toward God’s call on my life. I’m not finished yet.
- One thing I do:
- Forgetting the past (both the good and the bad).
- Reaching forward (always forward).
- Press toward the goal of becoming the man God made me to be (destiny, calling).
4 – For our team it’s much the same.
- Press toward our goals. We’re not finished yet.
- One thing we do:
- Forget the past (successes and failures).
- Reach forward (play by play) always forward.
- Press toward our team’s destiny. Become all we can be.
- Put it all together today.
- Play our best game to date.
