Whether you’re taking orders or giving them, maintain a good attitude.
Good followers become good leaders.
Read: Hebrews 13:7
“Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all
the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of
their faith.”
It may seem unfair but it’s hard to know for sure when you don’t know
the whole story. It’s best not to judge but be fair yourself.
Read: Colossians 4:1
“Masters, be just and fair to your slaves. Remember that you also
have a Master—in heaven.”
Don’t use your friends and family only for your sounding board when
you’re in trouble. Get with them to have fun together too.
Read: Judges 11:7
“But Jephthah said to them, “Aren’t you the ones who hated me and
drove me from my father’s house? Why do you come to me now when
you’re in trouble?”
Once derailed, it is hard to get relationships back on track but God
can give a clean slate and a fresh start, just ask HIM.
Read: Jeremiah 50:20
“In those days,” says the Lord,
“no sin will be found in Israel or in Judah,
for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.”
Asking for forgiveness must come with the action of repentance.
Repentance means to change. You will not do wrongly again.
Read: Job 42:6
“I take back everything I said,
and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.”
People can give you directions but you should consider carefully
which way you’re going to go.
Read: Proverbs 14:15
“Only simpletons believe everything they’re told!
The prudent carefully consider their steps.”
Stop for a moment and write down what has happened and where you want to go. Clear your head by putting things on paper.
Read: Revelation 1:19
“Write down what you have seen—both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen.”
One person who listens to God and obeys can change the world. You can be that person.
There are times when you have to work like a SWAT Team to prevent evil from messing things up.
Be sincere and get to the point quickly when asking for what you want.
Read: Philippians 4:6
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.”
