Leaders Learn to Focus on the Right Things

Proverbs 9: 1, 10  (MSG) 1Lady Wisdom has built and furnished her home... 10Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-GOD, insight into life from knowing a Holy God.

A special house has been built for Believers and it should be enough - but many times, we spend time looking out the window at other buildings that seem bigger, better, bolder. The world does this as the their practice of living. Always seeking another way - one's own way. Often, we focus on “building something,” but it is skilled living that’s the key. Christian leaders have the opportunity to demonstrate what God can do with a business wholly committed to him -- one that thrives, grows and is profitable - an enterprise run for His glory. Dickens would not have had much material to use if Christians at the time were committed to running Christ-enabled businesses. Businesses run God's way should be better - the leader more skilled at living because she/he isn’t trying to build a house. That leader is focused on walking the path of skilled living.

Are you walking on the path that leads to the house Wisdom has built?
