Just Enough

JUST ENOUGH

Doing just enough will only get you so far.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Many years ago, when I was in middle school, I did just enough to get by. I didn’t have anyone at home pushing me. I didn’t have many teachers pushing me. The friends I hung around with really didn’t care either. I did graduate but it was not with flying colors and I definitely wasn’t offered any academic scholarships. I finished but I didn’t finish well.

Friend, the Lord wants us to finish well. He wants us to fight the good fight of faith and has equipped us with everything we need to do so. Are you doing just enough? Coming to church to check it off. Reading a devotion to be able to tell others, “I do my devotions.” Are you really doing everything mightily unto the Lord or are you doing just enough?
