Daily Reading: Hebrews 3:12-14
Big Idea This Week:
Don’t play the wrong role in the story
Questions to think about:
Hero Makers constantly speak encouragement into others. Encouragement is defined as the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope.
Michael Jordan led the NBA in scoring in 10 seasons (NBA record) and tied Wilt Chamberlain’s record of seven consecutive scoring titles. Jordan also holds the top career regular season and playoff scoring averages of 30.1 and 33.4 points per game respectively. Jordan’s total of 5,987 points in the playoffs is the highest in NBA history. He retired with 32,292 points in regular season play placing him fourth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, and Kobe Bryant.
With five regular-season MVPs, six Finals MVPs (NBA record), and three All-Star MVPs, Jordan is the most decorated player ever to play in the NBA. Jordan finished among the top three in regular-season MVP voting a record 10 times, and was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996. He is one of only seven players in history to win an NCAA championship, an NBA championship, and an Olympic gold medal.
And just think, all of this almost didn’t happen!
Michael Jordan was cut from the Emsley A. Laney High School basketball team the first year he tried out. It was the inspiring words of his father that encouraged him to never give up and to fight through failure. These simple words of his father pushed him to greatness: ”You never know what you can accomplish until you try.” – James Jordan. Michael’s dad was definitely a Hero Maker!
Another Hero Maker, Zechariah did the same thing for his son John. He spoke into his future and I’m sure constantly encouraged him growing up to be everything that God had called him to be.
