My wife and I have two different ways of attacking a job. She likes to plan and make sure everything is right and fully understand what she is going to do. She works at the task meticulously and takes her time. Her only fault is she may get sidetracked with another job. She generally has several tasks going at the same time and has difficulty finishing some of them. My approach is much different. I dig right in and work hard at the job. However I may not possess all the knowledge and tools that I need. I work fast and finish the job quickly, but my work is not always the highest quality.
Acts 20:24 says, “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” Whatever God wants you to do, do it well and finish this good work. You don’t want to look back and be ashamed at unfinished works or works not done well, for then you may not have accomplished all that God wanted you to do.
