Commitment to Excellence.

17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.18 Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. 20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.21 And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniel 1:17-21

When God wants to exalt a man, he will bestow upon him the gift of knowledge, learning, wisdom and understanding. Suffice it to say that this kind of learning is not only in academics, but may relate to human relations, business, diplomacy, leadership and all areas of human endevour.
However, whatever gifts God has bestowed upon us, we have an obligation to take action to improve ourselves in line with these areas. That is why the scripture says;

'Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth'.
2 Tim 2: 15

Do you want to be excellent in what you do? Do you want to be set apart for distinction and not lumped together with the rest (just like the Hebrew children we read about?) Then you have to keep on studying, keep on learning, keep on acquiring knowledge. But there is a caveat! Learn from the right source(s). Measure everything you learn with the scale of the word of God, less you be deceived by the vain philosophy of men!

To your success,
