A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on these scriptures this morning and the thought that we, the leaders, can have greater impact and effectiveness if we viewed our “work” as our witness?
So:
How should we show up each day?
What would we be doing differently?
The Bible instructs us to do our work as into the Lord:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
Colossians 3:23-24 NIV
Amen
We have a glimpse into God’s creation process documented in Genesis chapter 1 that can serve as our example as the Bible tells us to:
“Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father];”
Ephesians 5:1 AMP
We see that as God created, He reflected daily and “saw that it was good”.
So let us also work today from a posture of love unto righteousness – when we do, the Bible tells us that:
“…the effect of righteousness will be peace, And the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever.
Then my people will live in a peaceful surrounding, And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places.”
Isaiah 32:17-18 AMP
Selah
As we focus on being and staying in the center of God’s will we know we will have maximum impact.
“We must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work.
As long as I am in the world, I am the Light of the world [giving guidance through My word and works].””
John 9:4-5 AMP
“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].”
1 Corinthians 15:58 AMP
Thank you Lord!
In conclusion, it is my sincere prayer that we, the leaders, choose to do good work with clean hands and pure hearts today so that the fruits of our labor brings honor and glory to God.
“Who may ascend onto the mountain of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully. [Matt 5:8]”
Psalms 24:3-4 AMP
“When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
Proverbs 16:7 AMP
Amen
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
Genesis 1:4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, 31 KJV
