We Can't Avoid Competition

We have teams now that don't keep score. We have awards that we give to everyone, even if they don't aggressively apply for them. We are trying to create an everybody wins society and it won't work. All we do with these crazy notions is set people up for failure. If you think you are going to have anything other than an average life with average effort you are mistaken. Poor effort will likewise lead to poor results in the overwhelming majority of cases. This world is not friendly toward mediocrity and there is no other planet I know of that we can live on. Even in the kingdom of God we are to strive for perfection. We are to let the word work mightily in us. We are to depend on the power of the Holy Spirit. We are to lean on the fellowship for support. Whatever we do we are to do it with our might. We have amazing grace, but we are to put forth maximum effort as well. Don't settle for anything but the best. In looking for the best we need to give our best. Have a great day reaching for the stars!
