Today’s Scripture
“For the Pure and Shining One. A song of poetic praise, by King David. I trust you, Lord, to be my hiding place. Don’t let me down. Don’t let my enemies bring me to shame. Come and rescue me, for you are the only God who always does what is right. Rescue me quickly when I cry out to you. At the sound of my prayer may your ear be turned to me. Be my strong shelter and hiding place on high. Pull me into victory and breakthrough. For you are my high fortress, where I’m kept safe. You are to me a stronghold of salvation. When you deliver me out of this peril, it will bring glory to your name. As you guide me forth I’ll be kept safe from the hidden snares of the enemy—the secret traps that lie before me—for you have become my rock of strength. Into your hands I now entrust my spirit. O Lord, the God of faithfulness, you have rescued and redeemed me. I despise these deceptive illusions, all this pretense and nonsense, for I worship only you. In mercy you have seen my troubles and you have cared for me; even during this crisis in my soul I will be radiant with joy, filled with praise for your love and mercy. You have kept me from being conquered by my enemy; you broke open the way to bring me to freedom, into a beautiful, broad place.”
Psalm 31:1-8
Today’s Thought
When it comes to leadership, you're going to have to go through some pain… Always remember, a crisis reveals your strengths and weaknesses… Your effectiveness to navigate a crisis will allow a special grace to come on your life… Your level of leadership will rise and fall based upon how you handle situations.
Today’s Confession
Father God, the ability to be a leader means that there will be difficult situations… There will always be some kind of problem that will need to be navigated, and how I do it will reveal my strengths and my weaknesses... Thank you God for your special grace upon me as I deal with leadership responsibilities. Help me to continue growing into the leader that you have called me to be.
