Our
world focuses a lot on the concept of power. We pursue power. We admire power.
We curse power. We are measured on power. But power does not equate excellence.
There
is a big difference between a passion for excellence and a passion for power.
The pursuit of excellence is a God given gift. It is a critical component in
society. It is characterized by a healthy respect for quality, and the use of
God given talents in ways that please Him.
The
pursuit of excellence glorifies God. The pursuit of power glorifies oneself.
The quest for excellence is a sign of maturity. The quest for power, not so
much.
