Leaders Let Go and Let God

Proverbs 21:1 (MSG) 1Good leadership is a channel of water controlled by God; He directs it to whatever ends he chooses.

What do successful businessmen like Ken Blanchard, Jim Amos (President of Mail Boxes, Etc.,), John Couch (one of the early VPs at Apple Computer) and Senator Bill Armstrong (former entrepreneur) have in common?  Read their stories and discover that each learned that it was pride that made them independent of God. Personal humility grew them and their businesses. It is our responsibility to plan, vision, propose, motive, implement, control, manage and lead; however, all this is done from an internal understanding that we are but a “channel of water controlled by God.” It is God who must be our strength. It is in Him we must trust.  We are not sovereign. Only God is.

Who do you really trust to guide your life?
