=EXCELLENCE NOT PERFECTION=
Greetings, Champion. Here's breakfast. It's the same breakfast we have been
eating all week and I hope you're enjoying it!
Daniel 6: 3 (NKJV)
Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps,
because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting
him over the whole realm.
We have been looking at the subject of excellence. We discussed that now
that we have the Spirit of Jesus living in us, we should have a heart that
wants to do things with ever greater measures of excellence than we did
before. Having God's Spirit in you will never make you worse, only ever
better, and this is true in every area of your life! It is good for us to
understand that there is a big difference between going for excellence and
going for perfection. So often when people have a spirit of perfection they
can strive to do what they are not able to, leaving themselves disappointed.
They may try to buy what they can't yet afford and get into a whole lot of
trouble and end up broke. There is a difference between excellence and
perfection.
To me, excellence is simply this, to live committed to "doing the very best
you can with what you presently have in your life". Don't live in what you
have not got, but rather, fully mobilize and use to the best of its
potential what you do. Remember what God said to Moses as he stood on the
edge of the Red Sea, not knowing what to do next. God's response to him was
"use what is presently in your hand". As he dared to use the stick that was
in his hand he discovered its potential was bigger than he had ever thought.
When God anoints what is in your life, incredible things can happen. What is
in your hand (life) today champion? As you are faithful to a spirit of
excellence, increase will come for your dreams and intentions to be
fulfilled, both for now and in the future.
Go after excellence not perfection. Be the best you that you can be.
God Bless
Andy
