The elation of success and the roar of the crowd can be intoxicating to a leader, especially one who has bought into the idea that self-worth is equal to performance and the opinion of others. Taking time alone with God as your audience of One is an important habit that will keep your ego from compromising your leadership.
"Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God."
Psalm 86:8-10
Prayer: Lord, there is none like you. When I am delighted by my words and work, I need to remember that You alone are God and I am the work of Your hands. Thank You for the reminder. In Jesus name, amen.
This is just a reminder that in the busy ness of life we still need to stay focused on the real deal, that is keeping God the first priority. I know for me PRIDE, EGO and SELFISHNESS is something always reoccurring. When things go well we have the tendency to think we did it on our own and then it happens again that we succeed and then we forget that God was the one that has given us that ability to do all the things we are able to do.
I just want to encourage whoever is reading this, although it is good to marinate in the OooO's and AHHH's when you succeed. Just don't forget that quality time with G-O-D.
