"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NIV)
The wisest man to ever live, King Solomon, the son of King David, wrote these under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God to warn the young people, and all of the other people of God, to avoid just going through life relying on human wisdom and doing just enough to get by. He encouraged them to do their very best at whatever they do.
I was taught that one should do their very best to be the best at whatever. The Bible teaches us that we should do our best, and that we should work as if what we are doing is for The Lord (Colossians 3:23) We are also taught that we should get busy and not procrastinate because this life is short. (John 9:4) Whatever we do, and in all that we do, we should do our best to do it to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31) Nothing that we do should be done in a half-hearted manner, it should be done to the best of our ability. Anything that is worth doing, is worth doing right, and it is worthy of our best effort.
