Leaders Know Where to Find Satisfaction

Proverbs 27:20 (NLT) Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.
Matt 5:6 (KJV)  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be satisfied.

Whether your secret desire for satisfaction is expressed in the pursuit of money, power, influence, sex, sports, food or rampant hedonism (just feel’n good, man), one outcome is certain: you will never be satisfied. Let’s make it simpler:  self-satisfaction is an oxymoron. Only when our desire is to satisfy what justice demands; only when we put the needs of others first; only when we are driven to pursue God’s Righteousness; only then will we be satisfied. For business leaders, servant-leadership provides a significant reward: true satisfaction. Are you really satisfied? Matthew 5:6 proclaims a promise you can count on.
