For the week ahead, pray for “America” We need to rebuild our dependence on God. When we take our eyes off God, our lives begin to crumble. Leadership appears glamorous at times, but it is often lonely, thankless and filled with pressures to compromise values and standards. There is no success without risk of failure, no reward with out hard work, no opportunity without criticism, and no true leadership without trust in God. Don’t regard yourself as the only one through whom God is working. Often God uses one person to express the vision and others to turn it into reality. When you encourage and inspire others, you put teamwork into action to accomplish God’s goals. The work of our nation requires all to work together in order for the body of Christ to function effectively. |
