Leaders Look Ahead

Proverbs 23:18 (NIV) There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.


Life happens. The financial, social and spiritual problems of the present may be huge.

Leadership is the art of bringing a proper perspective into play – vision casting, clarity of mission and inspiring hope. For the Christian Leader, understanding the source of hope and the practical expressions of hope demands an understanding of Sovereign context – it’s the difference between knowing about God and knowing God.

This business leader understands that the eternal impact of her/his business life has little to do with an all-consuming focus on market share and keeping a business afloat. The impact has more to do with the relationships he/she builds into employees, suppliers, competitors and customers – relationships that reflect his personal hope in a God who remains faithful to those that love Him and are called according to His purpose.

My personal question: Am I positioned to allow God to use my life as an expression of hope in the middle this global economic downturn?
