Consequence vs. Goals

Proverbs 22:4 (NASB) The reward of humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, honor and life.

Riches, honor and life: not a bad payoff. Or is this a payoff? “Plenty and honor” are not goals of this leader: they are the consequence of his/her humble spirit and this includes experiencing a satisfying life during our journey.

People who are "me-centered" will not only fail at leading, but also fail at living. The other-centered journey begins for a leader when a new God-fearing heart begins to yield a life worth living.

People are willing to follow this kind of leader because this leader is first a follower.

Who are you following?
