Are we doing our best for the Lord, or for others? Are we giving Him one hundred percent or are we just giving Him enough to get the job done? Does it matter?
It should. If we claim God to be our Lord and Savior, then we must extend to Him full allegiance. We are His soldiers, and any soldier is expected to pledge his life and loyalty to the one he serves.
We bend over backwards to do things for family and friends. We’ll work hours on projects for work or for school; but how much of an effort do we make for God? We do get brief spurts of enthusiasm where we give our best to Him, but that is not always the case.
God looks at our hearts. He sees the true motives behind the things we do for Him and in His name. When our hearts are not right in our efforts for Him, then we are in sin.
But God is an enabler. He can take the most fickle heart and mold it and change it into a willing and able servant. Ask Him for forgiveness for not giving Him the place in your life He deserves. Ask Him to help you do your best for Him. All He is waiting for is for someone to say, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.”
