As men and women who choose to lead like Jesus, we need to be careful to keep our eyes on our Master. He is unfolding His purposes and plans, and has invited us to join Him in what He is doing. The world system, other people’s demands, and our own longings can derail us if we do not consciously seek His perspective on life. This is where spending time in God’s Word makes such a difference, shaping and renewing our leadership perspective. Meditating on God’s Word brings an eternal perspective as we join God in what He is doing in the world.
Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.—Psalm 119:18, 19
Prayer: Jesus, we want to be part of what God is doing in the world. Open our eyes as we spend time meditating on Your Word. Shape our perspective, give us courage, wisdom, and hope. In your name we pray, amen.
