Leadership Development

Tonight's devotional began with the song "Holy Spirit," by Jesus Culture.

"Holy Spirit, You are welcome here! Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere. Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for; to be overcome by Your presence, Lord!"

"Let us become more aware of Your presence. Let us experience the glory of Your goodness."

It is a good idea to make this your prayer as you begin your devotional time. Invite Him in before you go into prayer and His word.

The specific Scripture verse for tonight is Proverbs 29:2: "When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan." (NIV) We should strive to be great, God-driven leaders so that our followers rejoice!

Maxwell says, "Your leadership ability--for better or for worse--always determines your effectiveness and the potential impact of your organization." Your ability to lead has a direct correlation to your success and that of your organization. As a leader, you should grow and develop your gift, with God as your guide and ultimate leader!

Regardless of what your spiritual gift is, you should strive to build, strengthen, and use it by putting it into practice. Let God lead you in that endeavor! Follow Him!

Back to the song. God sent the Holy Spirit to be our Guide. That still, small voice inside your head is there for a reason. He will lead us and guide us, if we will let Him. Be Spirit-driven!

God bless you!
