Daily DiligenceNovember 16, 2010
READ: 2 Timothy 2:3-16 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. —2 Timothy 2:15 Internationally acclaimed violinist Midori believes that focused, diligent practice is the key to performance. While playing a rigorous schedule of 90 concerts a year, she still practices an average of 5 or 6 hours a day. Jane Ammeson, in NWA WorldTraveler magazine, quoted Midori as saying: "I have to practice for my job and I practice every day. . . . It's not really the hours, but the quality of the work that needs to be done. I see with students, that they play and they call it practice, but they are not listening and not watching. If you have your textbook open, it doesn't mean that you are studying." That same principle applies to our walk of faith. Paul wrote to Timothy, "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth" (2 Tim. 2:15). Diligence implies constant, earnest effort, and is the opposite of a careless, inattentive approach. It embraces every aspect of our relationship with God. Just as a musician strives for excellence, we should want to serve God with confidence, seek His approval, and skillfully share His Word with others. Am I diligently studying, praying, and listening to the Lord today? —David McCasland When we live with expectancy, God speaks to those who take time to listen, and He listens to those who take time to pray. | Special OfferSubscribe
