Do It With Your Might | What Ecclesiastes 9:10 Teaches About Work and Excellence
Does an ordinary task deserve your best effort? Ecclesiastes 9:10 challenges us to bring everything we have to whatever God has placed in our hands—even when nobody seems to notice.
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might…” — Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV
Not when the assignment becomes important.
Not when someone influential is watching.
Not when recognition is guaranteed.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do.
In this episode of Digging Another Well, we explore Ecclesiastes 9:10 and what Scripture teaches about work, excellence, diligence, stewardship, and making the most of the opportunities God has given us.
The lesson begins with an ordinary moment at a theme park.
Thousands of people were passing through, but one employee caught my attention while doing one of the least glamorous jobs imaginable: cleaning a restroom.
He smiled.
He greeted people warmly.
He worked while humming a song.
He approached an ordinary assignment with an attitude that made it anything but ordinary.
Most people would never know his name.
But years later, I still remember him.
That’s what excellence can do.
Ecclesiastes reminds us that our opportunities are finite. The work currently in our hands won’t always be there. The people we can influence won’t always be within our reach.
The ordinary moment matters because this is the moment we’ve actually been given.
Excellence isn’t something we reserve for a bigger platform.
It’s a posture.
Whatever is in your hands today, bring everything you have to it.
Do it with your might.
