Excellence!

From The Heart of Pastor Shane (March 7, 2019)

Booker T. Washington said, “Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”  In 1 Corinthians 15:58 the Apostle Paul wrote, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding [excelleing] in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

My friends, we must choose to dismantle the unncecessary things in our lives that hinder the pursuit of an excellent walk in Jesus.  We must let go of anything that isn’t producing fruit in our lives.  Many are chasing after money and worldly possessions in their life, but should chase after virtues that have an external significance such as the Fruit of The Spirit found in Galatians 5:22.

Excellence in your pursuit of Almighty God will determine where you end up in this journey we call life.  God has give us His best; can we give Him less than our best?  My prayer is that each person who reads this devotion will make a commitment to the excellence in our Christian walk.  Amen!
