Heard an interview with a young football player Saturday morning.
Probably the best at his position in the country.
It caught my ear because he was raised about 8-10 miles from where I was raised in Miami.

Answering the interviewer’s question, he revealed a great deal about himself.

When asked about his speed he answered, “God given”.
Asked about his size, he answered “God given”.
Asked about his strength, he said. “Coach inspired “.

He said he was taught to always stay hungry and humble.

The interviewer said most receivers talk a lot….
The young man answered, “My mother taught me to not talk, just work harder “.
The young man’s words give some light as to the reason he has knelt in the end zone after scoring.

Very young man. Mature statements.

Good to pay attention to.

Think about it…
Any talents we have, at their basis…they are indeed God given.
Any physical gifts we have, at their basis, they are all God given.

At any level…When we have an occasion…we CAN give glory to God. Do we?

Our Creator IS the reason we have the talents and gifts we do. Even the perseverance to work and improve and steward our gifts …. That gift of perseverance comes from God.

Stay hungry….
Stay humble.
Know where it all comes from.
