Leaders Cannot Show The Way Until They Know The Way

OCTOBER 22

LEADERS CANNOT SHOW THE WAY
UNTIL THEY KNOW THE WAY

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the
law of the LORD! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart! They
also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways.
Psalm 119:1-3

The longest chapter in the Bible is a song about the priority of the Word of God. For 176 verses, Psalm 119 holds high the words and wisdom of God and convinces us to treasure it more than anything else in life. Why is this so crucial for us? Leaders in our world face two realities:


  1. Change happens faster then ever, so leaders must remain adaptable.
  2. We need timeless values more than ever, so leaders must remain principle-driven.

Consider what Psalm 119 teaches about God's Word as our source for leadership principles. Our leadership will...

  • be blessed
  • be strengthened and revitalized
  • enjoy liberty
  • remain steady even when afflicted
  • be enlightened, intuitive
  • remain pure and ethical
  • insightfully answer criticism
  • gain wise counsel when needed
  • display more insight than our teachers
  • have a reliable guide

Keep pressing, keep praying!
