The band Fee sings, "Glory to God forever! Take my life and let it be all for You and for Your glory! Take my life and let it be Yours!" ("Glory to God Forever") We can pray this every day, asking the Lord to use us for His glory!
1 Samuel 25:32-33 says, "David said to Abigail, 'Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, Who has sent you today to meet me. May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed this day and from avenging myself with my own hands.'" (NIV)
Abigail was able to read a situation and react in a timely manner. And she knew how to react. That is a key skill we can learn from her. As leaders, we must be able to diffuse a negative situation properly before chaos ensues. I think that such a skill is attained through experience.
Maxwell asks, "How do you step in during difficult situations?"
I recommend switching the focus of the group to positive ways to correct the issue. Granted, the situation needs to be fixed, but that doesn't mean that the problem should be at the forefront. Rather, possible solutions should be discussed.
Pray this prayer: Father, please help me to know when and how to act in negative situations, and in other times. Please strengthen and grow me as a leader, to Your glory! In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
God bless you!
