Paul's letter to his friends in Rome contains some aspirational thought. (Read Romans 8:24-25 aloud.)

• The apostle wrote to his friends about their aspirations to be more than they presently were.
• They had hopes, eager anticipation of what God would accomplish in them, and they were waiting patiently for its accomplishment.

I have aspirations for this team: 

• To win today (always the goal, but never the purpose).
• To win championships (every season).
• To see each player and team maximize their abilities.
• To support the coaches and support staff.

I have aspirations as a person:

• As as man (woman) and husband (wife).
• As a father (mother) and grandfather (grandmother).
• For my career.
• For my life in Christ.

Toward what are you aspirational?

• Strongly pursue those goals, daily.
• Patiently, but actively await their fulfillment.

Let's each and all be aspirational toward a strong, winning performance today.

Prayer.
