Pursuing Excellence

Reading: Colossians 3:12–17

Devotional:

Paul invites us to “approve what is excellent,” choosing what reflects the character of Christ over what is merely convenient or common. Excellence in the Christian life means embodying compassion, kindness, humility, and patience — not perfection, but consistent surrender.

In a culture that often rewards shortcuts and minimal effort, God calls us to something greater — a life that honors Him with every detail. Excellence is found in the way we speak to others, show up to work, and serve our communities. When done in love, even ordinary acts can become sacred offerings.

Reflection Question:

Am I settling for what is “good enough,” or striving to reflect Christ’s excellence in my actions and choices?

Action Step:

Pick one area of your life (work, family, rest, or service) and take one step today toward honoring God with excellence in it.

Quote:

"Excellence is not being the best; it is being your best, offered to God for His glory."

— Oswald Chambers
