Do you feel stuck and unable to make a
decision?
Today's Scripture:
Being afraid of people can get you into trouble, but if you trust in the Lord, you will be safe.
Proverbs 29:25
Being afraid of people can get you into trouble, but if you trust in the Lord, you will be safe.
Proverbs 29:25
Have you ever felt stuck? You know, stuck, when you find yourself wedged between a rock and a hard place, where you are doomed if you do and doomed if you don't? If you have not yet been stuck, be assured - every leader will arrive at this place of decision paralysis. Immobility sets in because of your need of approval from other people. Your desire to be liked by your peers looms in the back of your mind, stalling your decision or action. This motionless place is where you are unable to carry out your decisions or even make them for fear of what others will think.
No matter how tough a leader you are, you do not want to lose friends or make enemies. You don't want your integrity or ability questioned. However, God has given you an expansive vision for your group or organization. You have a global perspective beyond what your constituents may understand. When you are stuck, you must remain the strong leader and make the tough decisions in spite of what the human opinion poll may reveal.
Thankfully, God specifically promises that if you put your trust in him he will protect you even when you are stuck.
The wisdom found in this particular proverb is especially important for the leader to remember, for if you seek to please God instead of your members, employees, customers, or peers in every decision, you can trust that God will protect your reputation and relationships, thereby enabling your effectiveness as a leader.
Selah people' and friends leading by fear of others disables your efficacy in decision making, but focusing on faith in God enables your success in leading your organization to effectiveness.
"Peace can be yours and mine if we can allow God to squash our fears."
