Follow The Leader (Part 4)

"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one." ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:3

Now that we've established the importance of allowing God to lead our lives (and not the other way around), the question becomes why.

Why should we choose to follow God and not our own plans, thoughts, emotions, feelings, etc.?

Simply because of 2 Thessalonians 3:3. 

The Lord is faithful. He can be trusted and depended on.

Simply put - He is reliable.

More to come.

God bless,
J.W.

Wise Steward

And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household... Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has." ~ Luke 12:42-44

God calls us to be good stewards over that which He has given us - that is, our time, talents (our gifts), and our treasure (money).

So, how good of a steward are you being?

God bless,
J.W.

Servanthood Series - Part III - The Spotlight

God is not looking for people who just want the spotlight.

He’s looking for people He can trust to be faithful to Him, even when there’s no spotlight.

So which are you?

Do you do what you do out of allegiance to God or because of the fame and glory you will receive?

If it’s the latter, your fame, glory, and honor will be short-lived.

God bless,
J.W.

“And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” ~ Matthew 23:12

Servanthood Series - Part II - Who's The Boss?

In order to lead, you first have to be able to learn how to follow.

There are certain things that God wants to teach you as you serve another.

So, while you may not like your boss, while you may think he or she is underqualified or incompetent, God has placed you under that person for a reason.

Accept it and figure out what God is trying to teach you.

It may just be that God is teaching you what not to do when he places you in a position of leadership.

God bless,
J.W.

"Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things." ~ Matthew 25:23
