Bonus blog!! You guys are lucky this
month. In an attempt to stay “current”, I wanted to sneak this in
today.
Kevin Durant, power forward for the
Oklahoma City Thunder, was officially crowned MVP of the NBA today. I
know this is basketball related, but it ties in to the blog topic in
a number of ways. If you want to have influence in the
world today, then listen for a message in the video below. Check Matthew
23:12 first if you have the time.
I want to encourage you to watch this video right through... watch just a couple of minutes, and unless
you've got a strong focus on your “to do list”, I guarantee
you'll end up watching all of it. It helped me procrastinate writing
an assignment today!
Obviously Kevin's faith in God shines
through in this speech, but the biggest thing that struck me is his
humility. People of faith, and people of no faith, know him to be a
genuinely humble guy. He's a grown into a hero in the NBA and among
sports fans worldwide, but even more than that, he's a hero in his
home-town. After a lot of hard work and a lot of disappointments,
this is the first time he's been awarded the MVP – the most coveted
individual award in basketball. Perhaps it's proof that those who
humble themselves will be exalted.
