10/8–And you know when you have done your best. At the end of the day you might try to convince yourself you have when you know, good and well, you haven’t, but it will not work. Your conscience will tell on you and let you know.
You might fool me and I might fool you, but neither one of us can fool our conscience. It is more accurate than a polygraph test. Try as you might, you just can’t do it. There have plenty that may have tried, but I am sure none of them succeeded. God designed us that way, and God intended it that way.
You may think you are smart, but you are not that smart. God is much smarter! Being honest with yourself and with your Maker is essential. You will never accomplish much if you are not honest. Plenty of people have tried to take shortcuts and beat the system but you will only wind up beating yourself. Do you part and let God do His part.
It is like pitching and catching a ball with someone. You can do the pitching or the catching, but you can’t do both! You will just have to do your part and know that God will do his part. If you try to short change the system, you will only succeed in short changing your own self. Don’t try to tell God that you have tried to do all you can or know to do when you know good and well you haven’t. When I have done my best, I know that I have more than anyone else. It gives me confidence that I will receive that I am asking God for. When I haven’t done my best I know that too. You can’t fool God.
You can’t spar with God either, because your arms are too short to box with God.
