The Word:
“A beautiful palace does not make a great king!”  Jeremiah 22:15

 

Prayer:
Wow, God.  It seems so logical, yet society has told us that a bigger house, a nicer car and a better job and position are the measuring sticks for greatness.  The requirement of leadership is not external, yet I’ve assumed that if someone looks the part or has the right stuff on the outside, that they have an “in”.  Have you called me to leadership?  Help me to know.  Help me to not judge or be judged on the outward, but the inward.  You living in me is what matters most, and as You work in my life, help me to know your calling for me.  Sometimes it seems so obvious, and at times, I’m so confused.

 

Act of Devotion:
List areas of potential leadership in your life, or areas that you are currently leading.  Check your motives.  Are they for position and status, or to serve?
