Striving For Power
The push for power has come to shove. And most of us are either pushing or being pushed.
I might point out the difference between a passion for excellence and a passion for power. The desire for excellence is a gift from God, much needed in society. It is characterized by respect for quality and a yearning to use God' gift in a way that pleases HIM.
But there is a canyon of difference between doing your best to glorify God and doing whatever it takes to glorigy yourself. The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity. The quest for power is childish.
A thousand years from now, will it matter what title the world gave you?
