Me:  I have enjoyed the day so far!

Prodigal:  Me too, how do we sum it all up?

 

This is from John Mott

Leadership in the sense of rendering maximum service;

leadership in the sense of the largest unselfishness;

in the sense of full-hearted absorption in the greatest work of the world: 

building up the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Unselfishness that many may not see is in the heart of the leaders service.  At times we keep our mouths shut, we allow some minor activity to take place because even though the focus is on people building up their ego and not focus on Christ.  Why would we do that?  Because sometimes we save the battle for something bigger.  You have to let go some time.  You have to know that God may just have to deal with that person and you cannot be the person who says something.  So do not be selfish.  Be humble and quiet and allow the Lord to deal with that person, even if it is not until much later.

 

Psalm 1:1-3

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.  In all that he does, he prospers.
