My Best Is Always Under Construction[/caption]Just what does that title mean? Does it imply that a person is giving all they have to give to a particular task or job? Well, if you keep giving all you have to a particular task, then by virtue of the law of practice, you become better at that particular task, don't you?
Think About It
- Walking - walking was not always easy for you was it? No, it was not and most if not all of us can summon up some of those toddler days memories of when we were first trying to learn to walk ourselves or when our children started to take their first toddling steps. But, with practice and the passage of time, all of us have become proficient walkers able to hop skip and hump.
- "A piece of cake" Why did we become so proficient at walking? We gave it all we had, our best. And just like in the law of practice, each day's effort grew upon the efforts of the previous day. Before long, what had been so hard for us, had become our norm. That is such a simple thought to process, isn't it? Uhm, hmm-m.
- Living the Christian Life - Now let's apply that same law of practice to our life as a child of GOD. Uhm, hmm-m. You begin to see a different picture of the possibilities in your life as a Christian now don't you? Sure you do. If you practice being kind, it will become easier and easier for you until you can do it effortlessly making it easier for you to please the MASTER.
- Now, look at the flip side of that coin. If you practice being mean on a daily basis, guess what you will become skilled at doing? Exactly, being mean. Whatever you practice on a daily basis, that is what you will become skilled at doing. That is what you will become best at. You will be doing your best for jealousy, envy, being mean, etc., or you can be working daily on doing your best for the LORD. Which things will afford you peace in eternity?
So
In 2018, which set of things ought we to try to do our best on? Yes, the set of things that will benefit us with the LORD in the judgment. I think that I will give you a poem on this subject today. Hope you benefit from it and enjoy.
If you keep trying to
Do the best that you can do
You will find that the best of the best
Will spring forth from you.
Building upon the best that
Is today yours to give
Will manifest itself in greater ways
Than you ever thought could live
Inside of the body that you know as yours
For you will become a master of the best
Who each day raises the personal bar of best-manifest.
