In the Footsteps of Abraham
by Kenneth Copeland
When I was playing high school football, I always grinned when guys showed up at the start of the season saying, “I’m going to try this out!” I knew right away what was going to happen. When they got out on the field, they were going to get hammered…and they weren’t going to make the team.
One reason I knew this was because I understood what they were up against. They were going to be facing guys whose greatest thrill in life was to flatten each other. Guys who pushed themselves almost to the breaking point all week long to get in shape. Guys who put up with sore muscles, bruises, bloody noses and whatever else they had to endure—all to play a game they didn’t even get paid for.
When you’re playing against a bunch of guys like that, the “try this out” mentality doesn’t cut it. You have to absolutely love the game. You have to be determined to play—and play to win. You have to want it so much, that even when you’re getting slammed from all sides you’re saying, “Somehow I’m going to succeed at this!”
