Prodigal: I wonder how we are going to finish.

Me: We seek the Lord who will give us the decisions that we need.

Prodigal: Then what?

Me: We take action.

This is from the book Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders

When all the facts are in, swift and clear decision is the mark of a true leader. A visionary may see, but a leader must decide. An impulsive person may be quick to declare a preference; but a leader must weigh evidence and make his decision on sound premises.

Once sure of the will of God, a spiritual leader springs into action, without regard to consequences. Pursuing the goal, the leader never looks back or calculates escape strategies if plans turn sour. Nor does a true leader cast blame for failure on subordinates.

James 5:16

But now ye rejoice in your pride: all such rejoicing is evil.

Jennifer Van Allen
