This month, our character focus is Thoroughness. The operational definition of thoroughness is “knowing what factors will diminish the effectiveness of my work or words if neglected.”

To do a job well, you must first identify the end goal. Then, consider what is needed, called “factors,” to accomplish that goal successfully.

Thoroughness involves thinking ahead and committing to do whatever it takes to ensure that every part of an assignment is completed—even if additional time, effort, or care is required. A willingness to adjust a method for the sake of efficiency is an important part of being thorough.

Let God continue His work in your life by thoroughly completing the tasks He gives you to do today.
