Whatever we do, we do it with all our heart, as working for the Lord. Excellence is worship.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23). Our work, studies and service are acts of worship. "Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings" (Proverbs 22:29). "Diligent hands will rule" (Proverbs 12:24). Daniel distinguished himself because an excellent spirit was in him (Daniel 6:3). Excellence is not perfectionism; it is faithfulness with what God has placed in our hands.
