Text: Ecclesiastes 9:10
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Attitudes can be cold or warm, indifferent or enthusiastic, careless or committed. How early do you arrive at work? How promptly do you attend to assignments given to you? How quickly do you respond to emails and return business calls? These seemingly little things reveal the attitude you bring to your responsibilities.
Some people are habitually late, while others always have excuses for unfinished assignments. As a student, do you submit your assignments promptly or wait until the deadline is almost over? As an employee or business owner, do you treat your responsibilities with urgency or handle them carelessly?
The Bible says, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Excellence is not only about possessing exceptional abilities; it is also about demonstrating commitment, diligence, and responsibility in ordinary tasks. A poor attitude towards little assignments can disqualify someone from greater opportunities.
Beloved, let your attitude communicate that you are dependable, responsible, and committed. Do not wait to be supervised before doing what is right. People may overlook your excuses, but they will remember your attitude. Your punctuality, responsiveness, and diligence can distinguish you and take you to greater heights.
Prayer Nugget: Father, deliver me from laziness, procrastination, and carelessness. Give me a diligent and enthusiastic spirit, and help me to approach every responsibility with excellence and commitment, in Jesus’ mighty name.
Bible in One Year: John 5–6
