Verse of the Day: Whatever You Do…

holy-bible.png

10 Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 (NLT)

Give everything you’ve got in everything you do. Don’t do things half-heartedly. If you’re going to do it, go all out. That’s what it’s saying in this verse. You might as well do it big, because you might regret it later.

    Good advice. Life is too short to give half efforts. Put your full effort into everything to achieve the most success & happiness. You don’t want to end up wondering if things could’ve been better if you had made a greater effort into past endeavors.

    Good advice. I agree with you one hundred percent. Whatever you do, do the best as you can. Life is too short.

    Bible –Matthew – Chapter 5-16 let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

    It is important to be all or nothing. Why waste your time and someone else’s if your not going to put your all into it. Very well put.

    Henry, your rewording of the original saps it of its meaning. To do something \well\ is not to do it whole-heartedly, although that can play a part. Consider Jeffrey Stephan, the \robo-signer\ of all those bogus foreclosure documents. He sure gave those documents \his all\! But he wasn’t doing it _well_. That’s why, when push comes to shove, there is no such thing as \spiritually prosperous, financially rich.\

    This is a beautiful verse. Too often people get caught up in the rat race and don’t live in the moment, and then time is gone…didn’t get anything accomplished
