Thought for Today - Giving Our Best

''Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might...'' Ecc 9:10a

Solomon, feeling somewhat cynical, felt there was no more to life than to enjoy it, do what you can, and die. We, however, know there is so much more to the Christian life, when walking with Jesus and filled with the Holy Spirit. These words are still true: do it with all your might.

What am I doing? What are you doing? What has God given us to do? Are we doing it with all our might, as unto Him and not as to men? Or are we lazy, sloppy, inconsiderate, and not giving our best? Whatever tasks, jobs, or callings God has given each of us, He wants our best - He wants 100%. Let's give Him our best today, in everything we do, doing it for Him and not for the boss, for the paycheck, for the recognition, or anything else. He ultimately is the only One whose opinion matters!
