“To Do” Agenda

Only three things are most important in what you do today:

Do it in His name.

Do it with excellence.

Do it,

     not AS IF it matters,

but do it with all your heart, soul, mind and strength,

                      because it matters.

A new advertisement for Hewlett Packard states:

         “If you’re going to do something,

           make it matter.”

No half-hearted, grumbling, going through the motions.

You are serving the LORD

          in whatever you do,

          whatever He places in your path today,

          whomever He puts on your radar.

My grandmother was a piano teacher for almost four decades.

Each lesson, she gave her students a report of their progress

         to encourage them to strive.

At the top of that card was printed her motto:

        “It’s not what you play.  It’s how you play it.”

Her violinist daughter (my mom) could play

the most difficult sonata

                                  or the simplest hymn

               and bring tears to the eyes of those who heard it.

Excellence.

In His name.

Because it matters. 

That is your assignment for the day.

 

Whatever your task,

work heartily,

as serving the LORD and not men…

                 Colossians 3.23

…to serve Him

with all your heart

and with all your soul.

                   Joshua 22.5
