Where have all the leaders gone?

I really like the phrase out of the devo... Godly leaders...are known by their actions and knowledge of God's Word. I want to be a leader with the qualities the writers of the devo identify.

I think we need to remember to use God's Word as a standard for leadership quality, not necessarily our societies view of leaders. Many of our political leaders seem to void of Godly leadership. Maybe that is a big part of our national failure. We have lost true leadership.

Jesus said that whoever wants to be great will be servant of all. God's view of leadership is most important to me.

"God help me to keep my eye on your standard and not be confused by the worldly standard of leadership."

Where do you look for leadership examples?

God bless you,
PJ

  1. This is a tough one. How can anyone fill those requirements, but by God's grace and help. I particularly like how God points out the servant part of leadership. I have been a leader in the past and am looking back to see how I measure up to God's criteria. Did I do it for myself or to serve. It is a good point. Father, if I am ever in a leadership role again, help me to have a servant's heart and to show Christ in my actions.
