Are you content to have unfulfilled needs in your life? Most of us aren’t. We want enough for today, plus extra stored away for the future. Yet our longing for more than enough is often limited to what we can see and touch. Jesus told us that these things would never satisfy. He taught that only God can fulfill our most important needs, giving us a sense of security, identity, significance, and purpose. These are essential needs for leaders. Only when we let God fill these core needs can we turn from our self-centered ways to lead like Jesus.
You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.—Psalm 63:1
Prayer: God, truly, You are more than enough for us. Let us thirst for You. Let us be so satisfied in You that we can selflessly lead like Jesus, in whose name we pray, amen.
