Do Your Best at the Work That Lies Nearest

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might...."

In my life I usually fail to practice the guidelines from this suggestion on work. I neglect the simple tasks already assignmed me to do a greater work I think needs me elsewhere.

This is not God's will.

Joseph, before he became second in command in Egypt, gave his best as a slave, then as a prisoner. He was not promoted, but demoted before finally being exalted, but integrity and precision were his trade marks.

Let me first practice a basic job well done. Then I will be better equipped for the duties God later gives me.

Begin with the duties that lie nearest.
Work with all your God-given energy.

"I cannot walk to Rome until I first take one step."
