Excel

All of us say we want to excel.  We want to succeed, to be promoted, to win, to prosper, to lead the field.

What does it take to excel?  Well, “excel” is at the root of the word excellence, so to excel, our performance on every level must be excellent!

The notion of being excellent is to “rise above.”  Before you apply that to you ‘rising above’ everyone else, let me ask, “Does your work rise above others?  Do you exceed expectations in what you do?  Do you give the best of yourself in your relationships?”

One sure way of excelling is to heed the counsel of the Apostle Paul, “Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” (Col 3:23)  When you hold yourself to a spiritual standard, everything you do is guaranteed to be excellent.
