Confidence

Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, "O Lord, God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, prove today that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant. Prove that I have done all this at Your command. O Lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that You, O Lord, are God." - 1 Kings 18:36-37


A leader's confidence in God can literally change everything. For example, Elijah's boldness on Mount Carmel marked the beginning of the liberation of God's people from the wicked influence of Baal worship. When you have confidence in God and His principles for living, you will have a firm foundation from which to lead. There is no need to question your leadership ... when you allow God to lead. You can and will inspire those who follow you as long as God is leading. Your actions, words and deeds will liberate them from unhealthy practices. All of these things and more will ensure the positive results of godly living not just for you but for those you lead, mentor and guide. But in all things, remember to place God first, and let Him led you second.


Song: Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.

Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven
Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more.
