by Joel Osteen
" Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings…" (Proverbs 22:29, NIV).
Too often, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut, doing
the same thing the same way over and over every day. But if we are going to live
at our absolute best, we should constantly be growing and sharpening our skills.
We should strive to learn and grow every single day because when you stop
learning, you stop growing. When you stop growing, you stop living.
What are you doing to stretch yourself? What are you doing to improve your
skills? Don’t get trapped into thinking that “good enough” is good enough. You
were created for more than just average. Today is a new day, and there are new
heights for you to climb. Pursue what you love and keep developing that area of
your life. Take a class or find a mentor that will help you live skillfully. As
you do, you’ll rise up higher and higher. You will stand before leaders and
rulers, and you’ll live the blessed life God has in store for you!
Father in heaven, today I choose to rise out of mediocrity. I choose to give my very best to everything I do. Teach me to live skillfully so that my life is a continual praise to You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
