Day 151 Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 17, John 19, Psalm 119:129-152 and Proverb 16:12-13
Some say a leader is born. Others believe a person acquires leadership qualities through training. Regardless, God places people in the position of leadership – in family, workplace, organizations, and churches. Each Divine mandate calls for a leader to be righteous, to act as Jesus. Jesus is the Kingdom of God that came in fullness to reproduce the life, ministry, and mission of His Kingdom and he works through us. We are a citizen of the Kingdom of God. Our Lord Jesus rules us.
"It is an abomination to kings to do evil, for the throne is established by righteousness." – Proverbs 16:12 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, help me to be humble and meek so I can serve others in the leadership position that you put me in. Let Your Kingdom and righteousness be my guiding light. In Jesus’ name, Amen."
