Proverbs 20: 27 (AMP) The spirit of man [that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God] is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.
Christians should have a natural advantage as business leaders. After all, we have “put off the old” and now have “the mind of Christ” who is to be ruling in our lives, right?
But this kind of humility is hard work for the driven and successful. We are so used to solving problems on the fly, driving action. It is very easy to forget that we are stewards of those gifts of leadership, and we are called to manage ALL that God has given us for His glory.
Lamps, whose light source is self, is a darkened light: remember we are told to “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
It’s all about His light. Not ours. What does your light reveal?
