A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://visionmultiplierllc.com/
I was reflecting on this scripture this morning and the reality that we, the leaders, need to create moments for recognition, celebration and recovery as we experience/ achieve milestones in life – with an urgency of now!
For achievement oriented leaders, setting time to celebrate and savor the milestones may feel uncomfortable, counterproductive, inefficient or even futile; however, these precious moments can provide lasting shared experiences – helping a team or family build bonds based on collective memories.
Scripture gives us the example of how God celebrates:
“Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.”
Genesis 1:31 NLT
Selah
A byproduct of the celebration is the satisfaction that we have done our best work, our efforts were meaningful and we made a difference in the lives of others!
The Bible reminds us that we should strive to do our best as into the Lord:
“Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,”
Colossians 3:23 AMP
When we do our best, good times can be remembered, challenges can be viewed through the lens of continuous improvement and every contributor can know, see and tell how they impacted the success of the unit.
Amen
In closing, it is my prayer that we, the leaders, cherish and celebrate TODAY and live TODAY a life that is pleasing in Gods eyes.
By doing so, we position ourselves for TOMORROW to hear the Lord say “Well Done”!
Scripture says it this way:
“Come now [and pay attention to this], you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and carry on our business and make a profit.”
Yet you do not know [the least thing] about what may happen in your life tomorrow. [What is secure in your life?] You are merely a vapor [like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot] that is visible for a little while and then vanishes [into thin air].”
James 4:13-14 AMP
“His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
Matthew 25:23 KJV
It is so, in Jesus Name.
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
““The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’”
Matthew 25:23 NLT
