GIVE YOUR BEST

"Don't just do the minimum that will get you by." Col 3:23

We all want to stay in a 5 star Hotel.

Why??? 5 star is the best we can get....

The best appearance, the best things to offer, & the best service.....

We get the best furniture, & the best linen.....

I mean everything is the best!!!!

We all want to eat in a 5 star restaurant.

Why???? They have the best looking food (Nothing on the plate but it looks good)

WE ALWAYS WANT THE BEST!!!!

THINK ON THIS GOD GAVE HIS BEST JESUS GAVE HIS BEST THE SAD PART IS WE DON’T GIVE HIM OUR BEST.......

TO HAVE THESE 5 STAR ACCOMDATIONS THEY COST A LOT OF MONEY.

BUT WHO CARES “I DESERVE IT, I WORK HARD”

SERVING GOD IT COST:

1)OUR TIME

2) US DYING TO SELF

3) US LOVING GOD ENOUGH TO SAY I WANT TO SERVE GOD.

WE WANT TO BE A 5 STAR CHRISTAIN....

THE FANCY HOTEL WE STAY AT IT’S OVER WITH WHEN WE LEAVE ALL THAT IS LEFT IS THE BILL WHEN IT COMES IN.

BUT WITH GOD IT’S NEVER OVER IF WE WOULD BE A 5 STAR CHRISTAIN, GOD HAS PROMISES FOR US EVEN REWARDS WAITING FOR US.

One of Michelangelo's greatest masterpieces was his sculpture of David. He worked on it with such passion that he often slept in his clothes, resenting the time it took to take them off and put them on again.

He repeatedly examined and measured the marble to see what pose it could accommodate. He made hundreds of sketches of possible attitudes, and detailed drawings from models. He tested his ideas in wax on a small scale, and only when he was satisfied did he pick up his chisel and mallet.

He approached the painting of the Sistine Chapel with the same intensity. Lying at uncomfortable angles on hard boards, breathing the suffocating air just under the vault, he suffered from inflamed eyes and skin irritation from the plaster dust.

For the next four years he literally sweated in physical distress-but look at what he produced!

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "If a man is called to be a street sweeper he should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

"If you're not passionate about what you do, find something you can be passionate about!

Don't just strive to make money, strive to make a difference.......Significance should be your goal, not survival.

Paul gives us the ultimate reason for always giving our best: "Don't just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best...Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you're serving is Christ"
