The busyness of life often grasps our every spare moment and it is easy to lose focus of what God has petitioned us all to do. So how does a church, or a ministry or a single person stay focused despite the busyness of everyday life? How does one keep God first in all one does? How does someone find a balance as we are called to be in the world but not of the world?
For me, it boils down to the simple idea of leadership. Many of us read books or listen to sermons or motivational speakers discuss how we can become leaders, and we often only think of someone who is powerful as having the ability to lead. However, I believe that each individual person, great or small, can be a leader. It doesn't matter if you have the big desk in the big office, God has called each and every one of us to be leaders. As a follower of God we must also lead.
The word of God is our answer on how to lead, and godly leadership is our answer to avoiding the pitfalls of this world. If we as Christians are able to ground ourselves daily in the word of God and dwell on what God has called us to do, our leadership will flow from that which we put our trust and time into. The word of God is our ultimate tool for success in anything we do. It is our road map to become the best leader (follower of God) we can be. You might lead a big company or you might just lead those around you, but if you lead in the way God has asked us all to lead--in humility, love, and service as Christ showed us--then your life and your testom0ny will show and speak the truth of God.
In the busyness of life, may we as leaders always find time to put God first so we might lead for the right reason.
