Strive For Excellence (2)

‘That you may approve the things that are excellent.' Philippians 1:10 NKJV

Excellence requires two things: extra time and extra effort. It calls for going ‘above and beyond' what is required of you by others, because you consider it a matter of character and integrity. Now we're not talking about striving for perfection. That can drive you crazy, as well as everybody else around you. Perfectionism is based on self-centredness. It seeks approval and applause. Your goal should be to perform every assignment or endeavour as if God Himself required it of you and will be evaluating and rewarding your performance.

The old adage, ‘Out of sight, and out of mind,' does not apply to God; He is mindful of your every activity. ‘Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.' ( Today pray: ‘Father, give me the desire for excellence in all my endeavours. Help me to live with a constant awareness of Your evaluating and loving eye, so that I may do everything as unto You and not unto man. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.'

SoulFood: Lam 3:40-5:22, Luke 17:1-10, Ps 119:129-136, Pr 18:21
