Stand Out!

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, 

so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Matthew 5:16 

 

How many times have you heard (or said) "I'm just going to do enough to get by and that's all"?  Whether it's because we are frustrated because we didn't get promoted, or perhaps because we got chewed out, or perchance we're just burned out, doing just the minimum is not what God has called us to do.

 

Imagine if everyone had the attitude of "Meh, whatever."  Would you eat at a restaurant where that mentality was prominent from the food prep line to the servers?  Would you want to purchase a home where the builder's crew had that attitude?  Would you want to send your children to a school where the teachers had that mentality?

 

We are called to do good deeds.  Not just good deeds but to do them so that God will be praised because of them.  That is a high standard!  Whether you mop floors or clean windows or protect the public or process data, do it in such a way that God will be praised because you do it just that well!
