Working Efficiently to Honor the Most High

"Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16, AMP)

These verse is like a punch in my face saying "Iris, wake up! Here's what you need to remember!"

I was in struggle how can I honor God because I feel am not satisfied with what I'm doing. And here comes the daily devotional from Joel Osteen (i regularly receive it). I will bring honor and glory to God if I will do good on work, if I will seek to excel in everything that I do.

Am working as a content writer. But must have to admit that the quality of my work don't seem to impress me and even others. Because I am working as an average writer! No more than that! I have to admit that I'm getting bored once in a while. But I forgot the very essence of working from the perspective of God. I came to bring honor and glory to Him by excelling on my work and doing my best.

Let me quote the explanation of Joel Osteen whihc really pound my heart....

I heard somebody say, “Your performance gives you a platform.” When you excel in what you do, that gets people’s attention. The way to gain respect, the way to gain influence is to develop your character and skills in such a way that people want what you have. They may not agree with what you believe, but when you are the best in your company, they can’t argue with that. You’ve earned their respect, not by your words, but by your spirit of excellence.

I encourage you today, don’t settle for mediocrity. You are a child of the Most High God. Make the decision today to let your light shine and bring Him glory in everything you do!

It's quite a challenge. Nd I need to start working for it right now....Am not serving the people..and i'm not pleasing my superiors..i should work with the intention of honoring God..and one of this to bring out the best quality output that i can make...
