Do you read your Bible or is it sitting on your nightstand? As we grow our relationship with Christ we must realize we need His word to live, to survive. It’s our sustenance – our daily bread. Believe that God’s words can sustain you. Pray for God’s presence, wisdom, and direction as you dive in. It will change your life! #crazyfaith2021#ourdailybread#relationshipvsreligion

In my Bible reading this morning, I was reminded about the people closest to us determine our levels of success! Great reminder that the training we need as leaders can be learned daily from the Bible! #readit Moses learned this from God in the wilderness and implemented a plan to put competent, godly leaders next to him. His success in the wilderness depended on the leaders he picked. As a leader we must see value in others and focus on what we can get done for others, not merely what we can do for ourselves. #putothersfirst Here are a few ways to choose and develop leaders on your team and…

How strong are you? Are you good at weathering storms and fighting life’s battles? Over and over again we learn in Judges that the Israelites would suffer and then after years and years of agony they would cry out to the Lord for rescue. And God would answer. How different their lives would have been if they stayed in constant contact with God. When struggles and battles come our way (and they will come!), God wants us to run to Him first. Don’t waste time struggling through situations all alone. This is not just a cliche statement or something to be taken lightly because it sounds good. There is true…

How a leader deals with the circumstances of life tells you many things about their character. Adversity makes a person choose one of two paths: character or compromise. When we choose the path of character, we will grow stronger. Character is the foundation of how a leader builds their life! It all begins with character, because leadership operates on the basis of trust. Daniel 2:48 shows us what positive character looks like. His character resulted in responsibilities and gain. He received when he was trusted, compromise was not an option, and he was faithful to our God. Daniel had what it took when it came to character and lived a…

If you are feeling tired or far away from God, try taking a spiritual holiday. Separate yourself from your daily routine and concentrate on renewing your commitment to God. It is simple but needed. Give yourself time to refresh your mind, body, and soul. If you can’t get away for a day, get up an hour early and be alone with God! This will refresh you and change your relationship with our Lord! #bible #quitetimeStay Rooted 

Moses was told by God he would die and not lead his people into the Promise Land. Moses prayed and asked God to appoint a new leader. God appointed Joshua. Moses supported this God decision and trained up Joshua to take over his duties. Moses publicly supported Joshua to the tribes and said to the Israelites he had the authority to lead the nation. Moses endorsed Joshua – this is big! We can learn from Moses! He was so humble! God was the most important thing in his life and he put his pride aside. He was genuinely happy for Joshua. He helped develop this leader to take over. What…

“If you give special attention and a good seat to the rich person, but you say to the poor one, “You can stand over there, or else sit on the floor”—well, doesn’t this discrimination show that your judgments are guided by evil motives?” ‭‭James‬ ‭2:3-4‬ Apply this to your office or work setting. Servant leaders welcome all people to the table. They don’t have favorites that they give the best seat to. They don’t just welcome the best performers, or those they like best. James calls discrimination evil. Each and every person at your table is made in the image of God. Stop and think about that. It’s an amazing…
