J. Lee Grady says spiritual leaders need to: make family a priority. They need to live modestly and give extravagantly. They need to build God’s kingdom and not their own. They need to develop keen discernment because the devil is out to destroy them. They must maintain their spiritual passion. Because we “leak,” we need to be refilled and recharged regularly.

“I discipline [myself]…Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”

— 1 Corinthians 9:27 (NLT)

Lord Jesus, help me to practice what I preach. Help me to live simply and honestly, loving You passionately and my neighbor as myself. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
