Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will
get satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to
anyone else. Galatians 6:4
I was listening to a popular college football talk show on
my way home from work yesterday and heard a coach describe how he instills
values in his players. To paraphrase, the coach something to the
effect of, "if each member of this team is committed to being their best
and committed to this team being the best, it doesn't matter who or what team
we are playing." What great and practical advice that can be applied
in our every day lives, hence the reason college football must surely be 'God's
sport!'
Seriously, people often get stressed out when they take on
activities and responsibilities for the wrong reasons. Trust me, I have
been there and it's taken me a long time to be able to say "No," when
I feel I am over-committing myself.
When we are considering upcoming involvements, be sure to
seek God and ask Him to help you do things with the right motives. God
will help you make wiser decisions as to which activities you should commit to
and the ones you should say no to.
It's only when we do things with the right motives that we
will be able to work with passion and purpose and find satisfaction in a job
well done!
