Excellence and diligence in one's work is ultimately recognised and rewarded at the highest level — 'before kings.' The person who applies themselves with skill and thoroughness to their calling will rise far above those who remain obscure and mediocre. This is not a promise of fame but of the universal principle that excellent work rises to the top. It is one of the most encouraging closing notes in the wisdom literature: do your work excellently and it will not go unseen.
Memory phrase: Excellent work gets noticed.
Talk about it: What does it mean to do your very best at something?
Prayer: God, help me do my best work in everything I do.
