”It takes a lot less time and most people won’t notice the difference until it’s too late.”
An 89% in math was a great feeling. A C+ on a collective research paper in college was even more than I expected. Yet somehow 11% incorrect in my career means I’m 100% wrong. A 30% miscalculation on my latest group project would cost the company hundreds of thousands of dollars and cause us to completely scrap the idea and start over.
Apparently the reality is, almost good enough is simply not good enough. Doing 11% less may very well get you 100% less.
How true is this in our spiritual lives? Colossians 3:23 says no matter what your task, work at it heartily as for the Lord and not for men. What percent are you holding back? What would happen if you lept forward with an extra 5%?
