Buoyancy: Excellence

Excel _Excelling _Excellence
David excelled in his faith and work before Samuel and was anointed King. He then continued to excel in every-day tasks (shepherding) after being anointed as king. He excelled in standing before Saul. He excelled even when he was chased. David would excel when given a task. He continued in a life of excelling in all that he did before the LORD, and then he stepped up to a level of excellence in ushering in the golden age of Israel. David’s son wrote the following:
Proverbs 22:29 “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.”
Excellent work will bring you before excellent people who bring excellent opportunities.
Emerging leaders move from the place where they excel at a task to excelling in a season of life, then living a life of excellence.
Excel – “Do you see a man who excels in his work?”It does not matter what their current position, pay, or place is, they choose to excel. Emerging leaders are not caught up in worrying about how they did yesterday. They realize that yesterday’s mistakes have lead them to an opportunity for success today. Emerging leaders are not lost in the clouds of tomorrow. They have vision, but they know that they must excel in what they are doing right now! Emerging leaders excel at the small thing they have in front of them.
Excelling – “He will stand before kings.”
God’s word will not return void. You will walk right into divine appointments that lead to divine opportunities when you excel. Divine appointments come as a result of obeying in an excellent way. They are on God’s calendar. It not a quick fix or an easy thing. The passage says “he will stand before kings.” It does not communicate that this occurred immediately. Excelling is a process.
Excellence – “He will not stand before unknown men.”
If you are standing around getting caught up in common talk with unknown men you will find yourself becoming a common unknown person. Unknown men will merely glance at your excellence but not necessarily inquire how to become excellent. Don’t get caught up standing around the water cooler when you have a life of excellence to pursue. No one takes notice of ordinary. You are called to do extraordinary things in ordinary situations.
