Proverbs 19:27 (NKJV) Cease listening to instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
In her book, Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, author Goodwin noted that Lincoln was consumed with learning. A study of his life reveals that he not only read but also studied Scripture.
His Bible was never far from him and one of his quotes, no doubt stimulated by his constant reading of the Scriptures is, “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”
Believing leaders who now have power to some extent, like Lincoln, have learned that the Bible must be the major business resource when dealing with ethics, leadership, organization behavior and even strategy.
As great of a leader that Lincoln was, we have even a better model. Lincoln died. Christ rose from the dead, is living and “instructs” us today.
Are you still in school?
