Is ambition wrong? Is it wrong to be driven, to push to be the best? It can be. The difference between right and wrong ambition is in our goal and motivation, whether it’s for God’s glory or our own.

In 1 Thessalonians 4:1, Paul tells us that Christians are to live lives “to please God.” For some, the drive to please Him is an instant transformation at the time of salvation; for others, the transformation is full of stutter-steps and mis-starts. Whether the change happens instantly or gradually, the Christian is to pursue God’s goals, not selfish ones.

Paul suggests we work with “sincerity of heart, fearing God” (Col. 3:22). Therefore, whatever we do, do the best for pleasing Him and not for ourselves.

Give a bigger ambition to yourself, from God’s plan – a plan which started from the dependency as children
