BEING VERY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO

 

“Now King Solomon sent and brought Huram from Tyre. He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a bronze worker; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze work. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.”

 

I have a personal motto, from the Bible, in Ecclesiastes 9:10, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.” Might means strength. But working with your strength shouldn’t be all that you do, you must learn to work with wisdom and be very good at what you do.

 

Huram was said to have wisdom, understanding and skill in working with all kinds of bronze. Just one thing! He knew just one thing – bronze. You may know a lot, but knowing one thing too well and being very good at it is equally great. Bill Gates is known for computers, Mark Zuckerberg is known for Facebook, Tiger Woods is known for golf, Cristiano Ronaldo is known for football, Serena Williams is known for tennis, Tara Durotoye is known for makeup, Deola Sagoe is known for fashion designing, etc. Find that one thing you can do very well and devote your all to doing it.

 

I love what Martin Luther King Jr. said, “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michaelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.’” Praise God.
