A Leadership Insight from Vision Multiplier International https://atomic-temporary-196791482.wpcomstaging.com/
I was reflecting this morning on this scripture and the thought that, we leaders, often struggle with making decisions whether to accept/ decline new roles/ responsibilities or with having steadfast confidence whether a related decision we made was the right one.
Some of this anxiety may result from the lack of sufficient decision making discipline or the lack of sufficient maturity in hearing, recognizing and acting upon the voice of God.
Whatever the cause, the result can be the same: our experiencing turmoil and anxiety versus being in a place of calm and rest.
We are not alone in having internal feelings of inadequacy but I am grateful that we serve a true and living god who is touched by our infirmaries. In Him we are made strong and he will always be with us as he was with Moses and Gideon:
“But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?””
Exodus 3:11 AMP
“And God said, “Certainly I will be with you…
Exodus 3:12A AMP
“But Gideon said to Him, “Please Lord, how am I to rescue Israel? Behold, my family is the least [significant] in Manasseh, and I am the youngest (smallest) in my father’s house.””
Judges 6:15 AMP
“The Lord answered him, “I will certainly be with you….”
Judges 6:16 A AMP
“For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11 AMP
Selah
We must be encouraged and believe that like Abraham, we will not stagger at the promises of God.
“But he did not doubt or waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and empowered by faith, giving glory to God, being fully convinced that God had the power to do what He had promised.”
Romans 4:20-21 AMP
In closing, let us focus on meditating and becoming doers of these scriptures so that we may become steadfast in our leadership and follower-ship of Christ:
“The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.”
John 10:27 AMP
“I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His [own] life for the sheep. [Ps 23; Is 40:11]”
John 10:11 AMP
“So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.
Come close to God [with a contrite heart] and He will come close to you.
Wash your hands, you sinners; and purify your [unfaithful] hearts, you double-minded [people].
Humble yourselves [with an attitude of repentance and insignificance] in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you [He will lift you up, He will give you purpose].”
James 4:7-8, 10 AMP
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin [by which it brings death] is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory [as conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.
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 15:56-58 AMP
