Because God provides for our needs, we can give abundantly to others.
To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the scriptures referenced throughout.
Hermit crabs are fascinating creatures. Their soft abdomens leave them vulnerable to predators, so for protection, they live in abandoned shells that they carry everywhere. When a threat comes, they simply tuck themselves tightly inside their borrowed homes until the danger passes.
It can be tempting to do that when something threatens us or our resources. Often, we hoard wealth, possessions, or even our time. But Scripture tells us to do the opposite. For instance, Proverbs 11:25-26 says, “A generous person will be prosperous, and one who gives others plenty of water will himself be given plenty. One who withholds grain, the people will curse him, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.”
Notice there are no caveats, no exceptions to this wisdom. We are meant to be givers out of a sense of gratitude toward the One who gives to us so lavishly (Matthew 7:7-12; 2 Corinthians 9:6). Because we serve a God of abundance, we too can give abundantly, knowing our Father will always provide for our needs.
Think about it
Take a look at the many things you’re blessed to own or experience. Offer a prayer of gratitude for them, and ask God to help you decide what should be shared with others.
The sprint out game provides a diverse package that builds upon other components of the passing game. Overall, the concepts used in an offense can be adapted to fit the quarterback on the move.
Sprint out fits into any offense and any type of personnel grouping. It’s simple to teach and it gives an offense efficiency in moving the ball down the field.
Kevin Kelley, who spent the 2021 season as the head coach of FCS passing leader Presbyterian, starts by pointing out a flaw in the thought process that many coaches mentioned as why to not sprint out...that it “takes away half of the field.” His answer is simple.You aren't taking away half of the field because they have to cover the other half of the field.
The ability to move the pocket and the launch point of the quarterback can help create and attack holes in defensive coverage.
Moving the launch point certainly is a way to alleviate pressure and get the quarterback cleaner looks. For the offensive line, the movement will help them as well.
As mentioned, changing the launch point to deter pressure is a big benefit offered by the sprint out passing game. The protection is relatively simple and doesn’t require the refined technique of the dropback game. Where the dropback game protection forces an offensive lineman to deal with two-way go’s as well as having to be sound in twists and stunts, the movement of the pocket simplifies both technique and scheme.
Matt Drinkall, TE Coach at Army, begins with the understanding of protection being full-gap 7- man protection. He doesn’t like to call it turnback. He sets it up so there are two protecting the front side edge. His version of sprint out allows the QB to get on the move but be set up to throw which he feels gives a higher completion percentage, especially when moving to the opposite side of his throwing arm. Here’s how he does it.
With a spread set, the protection can be adapted to six-man with the single running back utilized to protect the front side edge.
The concepts for sprint out can be very simple and build off of each other. Coupled with some compliments, this is a segment of an offense that defensive coordinators will have to spend time planning to stop.
To start with, sprint out can be used from any type of formation 3x1, 2x2, 3x2, and 4x1. For Coach Kelley, it starts with something simple like a one-on-one to the single WR side. The safety is slid over and not in a great position to help. The WR will run and out-and-up but come back if he doesn’t beat the corner as illustrated below.
In this example, Coach Kelley moves the running back into empty to put him in a position to help on the edge. The same out-and-up with comeback rule is run.
He illustrates the multiplicity of the concept and when run against looks that he shows is unstoppable when executed properly, Coach Kelley breaks down all of these examples in this video
Once more receivers are added to the sprint out, the possibilities of how to attack the defense expand. Coach Drinkall likes to incorporate some form of smash with one route attacking vertically and another route attacking the flat. He explains his outside concept in this video.
Many offenses utilize the Snag concept which allows for a quicker timing from dropback as well as multiplicity from the types of 3-man surface formations and personnel groups. Coach Marty loves the concept as part of his sprint-out attack. Like Drinkall mentions, it does create a type of smash concept with a high-low to stretch the defense and attack zone coverage. It also creates some natural traffic for defenders to negotiate which makes it a great man-beater as well. He explains it here.
Those are just a few examples of how concepts can be adapted to sprint out. The idea is to be efficient in teaching so that dropback and sprintout concepts do not need to be exclusive to one category. The carry-over will cut down teaching and allow for route technique to be perfected.
Using Sprint Out Situationally
It fits into any field zone and virtually any down and distance. Bill Walsh made a living on Sprint Right Option with his Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young. Sprint right option is still a play that can be seen at every level of football. Many times it is a play reserved for the goal line area because it creates rubs and allows receivers to get open in an area with reduced vertical space. (see diagram below):
Coach Kelley carries an entire menu for this area of the field. He shares his variations in this video.
Complimentary plays
In general, any effective concept in an offense warrants the use of complimentary plays. Defenses work hard to take away effective plays thus opening opportunities to use other plays to exploit the weaknesses the defense creates to stop a concept.
Coach Drinkall thinks about how movement affects a defensive back who has to stop the sprint out and he creates concepts to take advantage of that.
His first idea is to tag a double move which takes advantage of an overplay by the defensive back. When the defender is jumping a corner route, utilizing a corner-post allows for a big play opportunity. Remember, in his version of the sprint out, the QB sets his feet to throw, thus making this a viable option. It would be much more difficult on the run for the QB. He illustrates it in this diagram.
Compliments don’t have to be shot plays all of the time. Simply attacking the linebacker movement to the sprint out side creates opportunities for a short pass and run after catch with a drag or shallow.
In addition, throwback screens, sprint draws, and even trick plays can be built off of the sprint out concept.
Conclusion
Changing the launch point is a smart way to take away the effectiveness of pressure. Because it can incorporate the concepts used in dropback, it’s an efficient way to provide the offense multiplicity. With a little thought, even a small package can be developed for an offense to realize these benefits.

As Jesus’ followers, we are to carry out His work. And we’re to be living extensions of His life as we do so. Following His example, believers must:
Live as God’s servants. We need to release control over our time, talent, and treasure and accept our commission to work in His kingdom. Like our Savior, we’re not to act independently (John 5:19). Our assignment is to do whatever God asks of us.
Answer His call to aid others. We tend to limit our circle to people like ourselves, but we must fight against this inclination. We should be willing to respond to the needs of strangers and friends alike. And the Lord can help us recognize those opportunities.
Motivate one another to good deeds (Hebrews 10:24). We’re to spur each other toward godliness and service rather than worldly pleasure and self-centeredness. Believers should foster in each other gratefulness for what He has done and confidence about what He will do.
Good works don’t earn salvation, but they do affect eternal rewards. Believers’ deeds will one day be evaluated: Works done without direction from God will be burned up, while those accomplished in obedience to the Spirit will be remembered and acknowledged (1 Corinthians 3:10-15). Let your love for God stimulate you to labor in His kingdom.
In a 2015 study, Nutritional interventions to augment resistance training-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy found that muscle growth is fundamentally driven by resistance training with adequate post workout protein consumption.
Your body has to balance between creating and breaking down muscle tissue. When you eat protein and weight train, your body produces new proteins. When you rest and digest your food, your body breaks down and removes damaged proteins. The overall ratio of this daily cycle determines your overall muscle growth. Here is everything that you need to know about resistance training and eating protein to stimulate maximum muscle growth.
Protein Dose: How Much Protein Should I Eat?
There is a lot of debate about how much protein you should eat. Here is what the science says:
According to a 2009 study by Moore et al, (1) people only needed around 20 gram of protein per meal for near maximal protein synthesis; (2) eating between 20 grams and 40 grams of protein provides only a marginal increase; and (3) eating more than 40 gram of protein provides little to no increase in protein production. In a 2015 follow-up study by Moore et al, they found that the optimal protein consumption is 0.4g per kg (0.18g per lb) of body weight per meal with four servings throughout the day. Example: If you weigh 77 kilograms / 170 pounds, you would need around 31g of protein per meal or 124g per day.

When we come to Christ in repentance and faith, all our sins are forgiven. They will never be held against us because Jesus took our sin and guilt to the cross and bore the penalty of God’s wrath on our behalf. When we’re quick to confess and repent of our sins, there’s no reason to hold onto guilt or live in shame. Yet sometimes we’re bound by self-reproach long after the feeling should have been resolved.
Satan always looks for opportunities to accuse us. Sometimes his accusations are about transgressions we’ve already confessed. In such cases, God has fully forgiven us. But we must also forgive ourselves—otherwise we remain vulnerable to the torment of guilt as well as to Satan’s condemnation.
So how can we tell where a feeling of guilt comes from? God-given conviction focuses on a specific sinful action or attitude, whereas the enemy’s accusations are usually generalized and directed at us and our worth. Remember, his purpose is to degrade us so we’ll live in shame and uncertainty about God’s love.
Whether your sense of remorse is true or false, it needs to be dealt with quickly—the feeling won’t just go away. So stop running, and face the source of your guilt. It’s time to end your captivity and start walking in the joy of God’s forgiveness.
Guilt over doing something that violates the conscience is good. The Lord designed feelings of culpability and regret to serve as a reminder that we’ve done wrong and need to repent. In fact, without a sense of guilt, we’d never recognize that we’re sinners in need of a Savior. And after salvation, guilt is the way the Lord shows us we’re on the wrong path so we can turn back to Him in obedience.
Many in our culture claim that all guilt is bad, but that’s not the case. When you feel its pangs, you probably know exactly what you did to set off your conscience. The proper response is to come to the Lord in repentance, as David did. Delay would likely mean feeling God’s heavy hand upon you. But with confession, your sins are forgiven, your guilt is gone, and the joy of your salvation returns. (See 1 John 1:9.)
An amazing side effect of confronting guilt in this way is a willingness to be open about your struggles and failures. Through your experience, you can show others who are burdened with shame how they, too, can be set free and experience God’s peace and joy.
