The Word for Today

 | Quality Workmanship Neither hammer...axe nor any iron tool [was] heard while it was being built. - 1 Kings 6:7 NAS |
A hotel guest called room service one morning and ordered two undercooked eggs, cold bacon, burned toast and lukewarm coffee." The waiter replied, "That could be difficult, sir." "Well," the man replied, "It's been no problem so far!" Seriously, the quality of your work tells people who you are: The Wall Street Journal says, "Your value to society comes when someone says, 'Let me see your work.' Your glib tongue may open a door or two...but the real test of your worth can be measured by the care you give to the job: a budget to plan; a solo to play; a report to draft; a leaky sink that needs fixing. Pay attention to details. Sweat the small stuff." We serve a God whose name is called "excellent." Consider the workmanship involved in the tabernacle (Ex 25-40). Or Solomon's temple: one of the wonders of the world with its "windows with artistic frames," and stones so precisely quarried that they fit into place on site, so that "neither hammer...axe nor any iron tool was heard...while it was being built."
One Christian leader writes, "What's true of grand music, writing, art and construction, is true of the way some still practice medicine, law, architecture, teach, type, preach, play instruments, cook, fix cars, coach, sell insurance, run a business, a home, a school, a restaurant, or a ministry. It makes them stand out, a cut above the average. It's not for the money, glory or fame it may bring. It's a matter of pride and commitment. Nothing less satisfies."
