A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on this scripture and the thought of its simplicity and as it relates to how we are creating our lives and legacies, as leaders.
Scripture tell us:
“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, And loving favour rather than silver and gold.”
Proverbs 22:1 KJV
Amen
It is true that in the process of leading, building and acquiring, we can and often make mistakes as leaders.
What matters most is that we ensure that the impact that we are having is a godly impact!
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: For the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.”
Psalm 37:23-24 KJV
In our society, there is a belief that rebranding is sufficient to overcome character flaws or reputational mistakes; however, we cannot forget the impact that we have on the hearts and minds of others with whom we have an emotional connection.
We have the responsibility to live our lives in such a way that is pleasing to Christ and is attractive to those seeking a better way.
“When a man’s ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.”
Proverbs 16:7 KJV
As we press forward, here are some closing scriptures we can meditate on in this season:
“The end and culmination of all things is near.
Therefore, be sound-minded and self-controlled for the purpose of prayer [staying balanced and focused on the things of God so that your communication will be clear, reasonable, specific and pleasing to Him.]
Above all, have fervent and unfailing love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]. [Prov 10:12]”
1 Peter 4:7-8 AMP
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer.”
Psalms 19:14 AMP
Let us be wise as serpents and harmless as doves so that we obtain a good name and ultimately hear:
“…Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little, I will put you in charge of many things; share in the joy of your master.’”
Matthew 25:23 AMP
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
Please share!
“A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches;
And favor is better than silver and gold. The rich and poor have a common bond; The Lord is the Maker of them all. [Job 31:15; Prov 14:31]”
Proverbs 22:1-2 AMP
