A person who takes their work seriously will see growth and results. Perhaps the Lord has placed an idea in your heart, or you find yourself in a job that is meaningful and fulfilling. Do not take it lightly. Give it your best effort. Many people want God to bless them, but they are not diligent with what is already in their hands. If you focus and apply yourself, you will see increase. More revelation will come, leading to greater impact. You will get better at what you do, and over time, your results will speak for themselves.
In 2 Timothy 2:1-7, Paul instructs Timothy to be disciplined and results-driven in his work. He compares a believer’s commitment to that of a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer—each one must be dedicated and focused to succeed. A soldier is mission-minded, an athlete trains hard to win, and a farmer works faithfully to reap a harvest. This means you cannot afford to be distracted or lazy. A lot of times, we do not treat our work as important as we should. If you want results, you must focus and push through challenges with determination.
Too many people approach their work casually, expecting success without discipline. But growth only comes when you are intentional about what you do. If you treat your work as unimportant, others will too. However, when you take yourself seriously, opportunities will open, and people will recognize your value. The difference between those who succeed and those who do not is often a matter of focus. You already have something good. Now, how can you make it better? Will you be like the soldier, the athlete, and the farmer—fully committed to your work? Take yourself seriously, and watch how God brings increase.
