Here’s Five Things We Can Learn from God’s Word about
Maintaining Excellence in All We Do:
1. Work with enthusiasm. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
as though you were working for the Lord and not for people” (Colossians 3:23 TEV).
2. Sharpen your skills. “If your ax is dull and you don't sharpen it, you
have to work harder to use it. It is smarter to plan ahead” (Ecclesiastes 10:10 TEV).
3. Keep your word. “Everyone talks about how loyal and faithful he
is, but just try to find someone who really is!” (Proverbs 20:6 TEV)
4. Maintain a positive
attitude. “Do everything without
complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of
God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like
stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life” (Philippians
2:14-16a NIV).
5. Do more than is
expected., “If someone takes
unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more
tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously” (Matthew 5:40-42 MSG).
“Whatever you do, work at
it with all your heart, as though you were working for the Lord and not for
people.” (Colossians 3:23 TEV)
Be wise today and always –
everything you do is for Jesus!
