All achievements should remind us of the grace of God

Here are a few excerpts from Eric Mack's blog. A self-professed computer geek and productivity guru, he's also a strong Christian with an interesting website and blog. It seems he's also a recent graduate of John MacArthur's Masters Seminary .....

God is truly the source of all skill and the goal of all labor.

Dr. John MacArthur admonished the graduates: You will be a product of your influences. Choose very well, those whom you allow to shape your life. "... everyone when he is fully trained, will be like his master." Luke 6:40. He went on to discuss how we should carefully consider our goals, and how we approach life, allowing God to work through us.

My take on this: When all is said and done, at the end of our life, what really matters is what kind of eternal impact we have made. Everything else, when considered from eternity, is of no significant value. That does not mean that we should not engage in daily activities; it means that whatever we do, we should do it for the glory of God, working, not as unto men, but as unto the Lord. A godly perspective will certainly change our approach and our motives for the things that we do.
