If you're fortunate, every once in
a while you get the chance to watch someone who is a total master at what they do.
And when that happens, it's a real treat...
Just observing the competence and confidence of a pro up close is so inspiring!
Well, I've had the good fortune of watching such a person here recently.
He's 76 years-old, he's been doing his thing for 45 years... and because He sees himself as gifted and called by God, he still helps people with his craft 12 hours a day!
He's so
good at what he does that professional athletes, Olympians, business executives, world-class entertainers -- and even presidents -- hear about him and seek him out.
As I was watching him at work the other day I couldn't help but think of the verse from Proverbs that says:
"Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men" (Pr.22:29).
I also couldn't help but ponder something else...
And that's that God has given us
all something to do with our lives... and because He has, we ought to do our best to be faithful with it and master it.
Sure... we me may never get to the point where presidents seek us out.
But we can take satisfaction in knowing we're being good stewards of the gifts God has entrusted to us.
And we can delight in serving God as we serve others.
And, of course... we can look forward to the day that we stand before the King of kings and hear him say, "Well done
good and faithful servant" (Mt.25:23).
