Deuteronomy 9:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my
hands, breaking them to pieces before your eyes.
Anger, frustration, disappointment, and loss of self-control
have sunk many of God's greatest leaders. Leading can sometimes be a horribly
disappointing task. Yet God's people would perish without strong leaders full
of godly conviction. Despite the failure of some of our leaders and the perils
that can beset those who choose to lead, leadership is as honorable as it is
vital! Where would Israel have been without Moses or Joshua or Hezekiah or
David...? So if the Lord is calling you to lead, don't accept his invitation
lightly, but please, accept it! If you are not a leader, please remember to
pray for your leaders and their families.
Thought for today:
If I am called to leadership how do I lead – iron fisted or compassionate?
