Good Morning!
DILIGENCE - A basic quality of any person worth their salt
in business or the professions!
Definition-wise it has the idea of:
"Persistent application to one's work or duty"
"To pursue with persevering, painstaking
effort"
My guess is that anyone around your operation who lacks these
qualities has been handed their W-2 form and ushered toward
the exit.
So why is it that in the spiritual realm we often
allow ourselves the luxury of a lackadaisical approach
to our faith?
The Scriptures grant us no such slack:
"Above all that you guard, watch over your heart
with all diligence, for out of it are the sources
of life." (Proverbs 4:23 - Berkeley Translation)
"Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently,
lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen and lest
they depart from your heart all the days of your life..."
(Deuteronomy 4:9)
"Be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless." (II Peter 3:14 - KJ)
It was through Christ's death on the cross that our
salvation was won.
It is through our DILIGENT pursuit to know God that the
doors are opened for us to experience all the riches in Christ
Jesus now available to us.
My challenge to you is to bring the same DILIGENCE
into your spiritual life that you exercise in your professional
life!
Have a great week!
