Represent!

So i'm gonna try to make this one a bit shorter....

Today in class we were assigned to do student led devotions and this is the topic I decided on: Living in God's name.

The verses i chose were: Col. 3:17- "And whatever you do, whether it be in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."
Prov. 21:31- "The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord."

Basically mine is about whatever you do or accomplish, God LET that happen. Then I kinda led that into a modern example: Tony Dungy.
If you dont know who that is, he was the head coach for the Colts the year they won the Superbowl. He had been fired from so many other teams before he was with the Colts, because he never won the superbowl.
The first practice he had with the Colts, the very first thing he said was this: "It's not gonna be Manning's touchdown throwing pass that's gonna win us games. It's not gonna be the linebackers awesome defense that's gonna win us games. The ONLY thing that's going to win us games is if we honor the victories we earn in the name of the Lord."

And sure enough, they won the Superbowl that year.
Here's Tony Dungy's 'I Am Second' video: http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/tony-dungy/
