Joel @ Lakewood Church
God blesses excellence so go the extra mile no matter who is watching. God wants us to set the highest example. When you are excellent your life is a testament of God. Some people will never read the Bible. (People are always watching)
Matthew 5:41 NIV
If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.
Genesis 24:14 NIV
May it be that when I say to a young woman, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."
Take steps to grow.
Make it the best that it can possibly be.
Favor and excellence go hand and hand.
If you don't take care of what you have then you won't be blessed with more.
It's scriptural to take care of yourself.
Daniel 6:3 NIV
Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

Thanksgiving Makes You Whole
Our nation celebrates thankfulness. Everyone is reminded to be thankful. Thankfulness brings all the pieces together.
Thankfulness is a easy way to encourage ourselves and make us whole.
Luke 17: 11-18
Jesus took notice of the one who came back and said thank you.
Have grateful in spite of our circumstances.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
