Proverbs 21:4 (NLV) Eyes lifted high and a proud heart is sin and is the lamp of the sinful.
Why would anyone want to be led by you? Goffee and Jones had asked this very question in a ten-year study and the results published in the Sept-Oct 2000 HBR, "Why Should Anyone Be Lead by You?" They discovered four "unexpected" traits of "inspirational" leaders and the first is that these kinds of leaders "reveal their weaknesses." Proud people would shun away from that kind of leading. Their only "light" for their path is themselves. No one else can do it better, think in through better or explain it better. It is all about them. Leading is best accomplished with a light that clearly illuminates the path. Those who choose self are limited in their light. Those who chose God, as revealed in Christ, have the "light of the world." This light attracts. This light, when shining through us, illuminates all you fall under its beams.
What is your light source?
