You Don't Have to Fight the Shark (Philippians 3:14)
Exhibit AKey Evidence
- Airborne (1993) has a line worth keeping: "There will always be sharks. But how often does this once-in-a-lifetime wave come along?"
- There will always be critics, distractions and people who want you to quit. If you spend your life fighting every one of them, you'll miss what God called you to.
- Keep your eyes on the prize. Let God handle the sharks, and you go for the wave He put in front of you.
Exhibit BFrom the Word
“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

You don't have to fight the shark to win the wave. 🦈
Airborne (1993) has a line worth keeping: "There will always be sharks. But how often does this once-in-a-lifetime wave come along?"
There will always be critics, distractions and people who want you to quit. If you spend your life fighting every one of them, you'll miss what God called you to. Paul didn't waste his strength on the sharks. He kept his eyes forward: "I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 3:14 NKJV).
Keep your eyes on the prize. Let God handle the sharks, and you go for the wave He put in front of you.
The light was always there.
