2 Timothy 2:15
Do the best you can do
Are we committed to doing your best?
Are you committed to giving God your best?
Sometimes you have to contend with survival on your way to success.
Study in this passage means apply yourself, presentation of self
We handle the Word corruptly or correctly-choose to handle it correctly
Not necessarily the product, but how you go about it.
Precision and accuracy in interpreting God’s word. Anything less is shameful.
Don’t engage in empty godless talking
Don’t engage in lust and giving in to flesh
Luke 2
Jesus is 12 and missing and found 4 days later in the temple
Jesus left with his parents and obeyed them. As a result Jesus grew in various ways.
Stand out and show what you got
Excellence is to greatly exceed average
Excellence is a commitment to do your best
Excellence won’t let you settle for mediocrity
Give it your best to outdo the rest
Excellence is not achieved by comparing yourself with others.
As I strive for excellence, don’t compare myself to nobody else.
2 Corinth 12
Comparison puts up roadblocks that set up standards not meant for us
Doing your best is more important than being the best
