Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 9-10

"Whatever you do, do well..." Ecclesiastes 9:10 NLT

I like it, Lord.

I really do.

How you slid that word 'whatever' in there with no parenthesis, addends or asterisks referring to exemptions in the footnotes--very smooth of You.

You're telling me that it's not only the big, on the stage performances that I should shine in. It's not just the instances where fame might be showered upon me for a job well done. It's not referring to only well-practiced, scripted and memorized segments of life that I should give my all to accomplishing.

It's washing the dishes. It's wiping toothpaste splatters off the mirror--again. It's waiting on the customer the other salesmen run from. It's reacting to the aggravating driver in the passing lane. It's writing this devotion each morning and talking about my neighbors.

Whatever I do, I must do well. Whatever is a mighty big word, Lord...you'll help me, won't You?
