Good, better, best. The sequence of positive superlatives is not always easy for children to learn in English class. I suggest it is sometimes equally difficult for adults to learn in daily life.
Paul wrote to the Philippians, praying that they might know how to discern what is best (1:11). How often do we sacrifice the best in favor of that which is merely good? How often do we fail to reach our potential spiritually because we are satisfied with the minimum? The good is sometimes the enemy of the best.
Today, I will seek to do what is best! I will seek to discern the highest good and work toward it. I will not be satisfied with mediocrity, even if that mediocrity is seen by some as good. Life is not about goodness which is defined by the avoidance of evil. Life is about proactively seeking the best possible.
Today, will you be satisified with what is good, or will you seek the best?
