2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” God has called us and has a plan for our lives, but we play a role in this journey that God is taking us on. God knows we are not perfect. The Scripture does not say “be perfect and then we will be approved by God,” it says” do your best”, also translated “be diligent.” In order to do our best, we must be obedient to the Word of God, seek His ways, and submit to His plans. We must be able to know truth in order to speak and live truth. Sometimes it is easiest to just wait for a Holy Spirit experience or feeling to present ourselves to God. Doing your best can never be based on feelings, because you may not always feel like it. We do not have to live this life in shame, but can stand bold in the truth that we know about our Lord, Jesus Christ. It is our responsibility to know this truth and live it to the best of our ability every day.
