1 Corinthians 14:12(NKJV)
12Even so you, since you are zealous for
spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the
church that you
seek to excel.
There are many
Scriptures that talk about us striving to do our best. To use the skills God gave us to the best of
our abilities. We are told to run the
race to win. In the Parable of the
Talents, the one who didn't use his talents lost all that he had and God was
displeased with him.
So it is well
established that we strive to excel in all that we do.
But why? To what purpose? Why does it matter to God? I believe the above Scripture answers that
question.
"...let it be
for the edification of the church that you seek to excel. "
To put it another
way which brings more glory to God? A
sloppy, disorganized, run down church or a church that strives for excellence
in all they do? We represent God here
on earth. Let's represent Him in the way
He would like to be represented!
