And on the surface of its stays
and on its panels,
he carved cherubim, lions,
and palm trees,
according to the space of each,
with wreaths all around.
1 Kings 7. 36
No matter the task at hand,
not just doing the necessary
or basic requirements,
but considering how can we
approach this work,
this divine assignment differently
with excellence and joy.
Adding a few lions and palm trees
for good measure
and for beauty's sake.
Skill comes from effort.
Excellence emerges from
doing it over and over again.
What we do and how we do it
comes from the heart.
Are we completing it
with the bare minimum
and least effort,
or bringing God glory
through our work
as an act of worship?
It's not just a job,
but a joy in
serving the Almighty.
O LORD,
Walk with us into this work
that we might reflect
Your creation in
whatever we do.
May every good endeavor
bear tremendous fruit
for Your Kingdom
and in Your name.
Even in what we do today,
please bring Your glory to it.
