I'm sure you've heard the expression, “If a job is worth doing at all, it is worth doing well”. Unfortunately, many people today don't live by this standard, choosing instead to settle for good enough. Companies are having a harder and harder time finding employees who want to exceed expectations, not just skimping by. Workers want to do as little as possible, not caring if it's done right or in a timely manner. The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail. This is true of fixing a delicious meal, growing a beautiful garden, a well-kept home, or well-run church. Consistently bad sermons week after week leads to an empty church. Determine today to make a long-term commitment to be superior in all you do because God wants you to do your best. And yes, it is possible when you are Holy Spirit led. When you ask God to give you the wisdom, courage and strength, He will; aim for high quality, move out of the line for good enough and join the parade of excellence. In other words, do your best for Jesus.
