Hive you ever heard the question... ’Are you doing yourpersoul best?" Though usually referring to workplace endeavors, one can connect that phrase with any of his or her daily performances and relationships. What is your "personalbest*?

The answer varies according to individual backgrounds and capabilities as well as different degrees of determination to succeed. Lance Armstrong's personal best as a cyclist is certainly better than the biking enthusiast who only gets out on weekends. However, aren’t both glorifying Cod by taking care of the gifts they were given? Furthermore, doesn’t the effort required to stay in shape prepare them for adversity?

The most qualified and determaed of us can experience tragedy and loss that jolts our capacity to perform daily tasks and reach goals. What then? Lance Armstrong would probably admit that his personal best was beating cancer, not winning the Tour de France 5 times.

No matter what, we need to focus on Cod as the inspiration for our "personal best’ When we give Him our best as we worship each welt, Cod returns it to us with added strength and peace. Won’t you give Cod yonr ‘personal best” this week as you visit your local church or synagogue?
