“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23).
Always doing our best is a commandment directly from God. Sometimes we see people doing a half-hearted job and putting no effort into the task. As Christians working and living alongside others who may not be believers, this is one way we stand out from the crowd.

“You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised” (Hebrews 10:36, NIV).
Perseverance is a godly trait that many people lack. Putting forth our best in everything we do, and refusing to give up when life gets tough, are both important qualities to develop. This mindset is critical when we encounter challenges on our Christian walk.

“Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves]. Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [let Him be your example in humility]” (Philippians 2:3-5, AMPC).
Jesus was the humble servant, yet was also God in human form. He could have held Himself in high esteem, but chose not to. When it came to relating to others, He embodied everything that we should aim to do in our relationships; He’s our perfect example.

“Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, and do not stand in the place of the great; for it is better that he say to you, ‘Come up here,’ than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen” (Proverbs 25:6, 7, NKJV)
Considering ourselves as better than others sets ourselves up for a fall. An “I am the greatest” attitude goes against the biblical teachings of putting others first. Putting ourselves last allows God to exalt us.
January 26
“Diverse weights [one for buying and another for selling] and diverse measures—both of them are exceedingly offensive and abhorrent to the LORD” (Proverbs 20:10, AMPC).
January 25
“He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:27, 28).
Sometimes we do more harm than good by speaking without thinking first; the truly wise person knows when to refrain from saying anything. Words are powerful and can’t be taken back once they’re uttered. In a touchy situation, they add fuel to the fire.
January 24
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud” (Proverbs 16:18, 19).
A humble attitude pleases God. We live in an environment that exalts pride and self-centeredness; we therefore must beware of ungodly mindsets.
January 23
“Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established” (Proverbs 15:22, NKJV).
Seeking quality input before we begin something is the key to well-informed conclusions. Wise leaders never make decisions in a vacuum, but instead surround themselves with knowledgeable experts. This is true at any level of leadership.
January 22
“When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” (James 4:3, NIV).
God wants to grant our requests when we pray, but only if we ask with the proper motivation and without selfish intent. He honors our prayers when we put others first the way He tells us to.
