Pocket Change

This evening, I listened to Casting Crowns' song, "Who Am I."

"Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done; not because of what I've done, but because of Who You are! I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind. Still You hear me when I'm calling. Lord, You catch me when I'm falling, and You tell me who I am: I am Yours!"

No matter what you are going through, if you are saved, remember that you belong to God. He is in control and He loves you!

Today's verse, Proverbs 20:28, says, "Love and faithfulness keep a king safe; through love his throne is made secure." (NIV)

Maxwell compares leadership to pocket change. As you succeed, you store it up. When you make mistakes, you have to pay it out to the people.

Try your best to store up change. Earn the trust of your followers. Then, should something really bad happen, you don't completely ruin your reputation.

Keep an eye on your balance. Once you're out of change, you're done.

Reflect on Maxwell's question for today: "How much change do you have in your pockets right now?" If you are running low, make investments in the people. Save up so that you have it in times of need.

God bless you!
