All of us are leaders whether we have a title or not. For instance, husbands lead their families and parents lead their children even though we do not usually think of those as leadership positions. Leadership is all about dealing with challenges. If the leader responds to the challenges facing him with godly wisdom and faith, his family or the organization he leads moves forward. If he mismanages the challenges, he creates a crisis. Since no leader is wise enough to consistently make right decisions apart from the guidance of the Holy Spirit, he should always pray for wisdom.

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you.”

— James 1:5 (NLT)

Lord Jesus, help us to realize that we are not wise enough to lead apart from the wisdom that comes from God. Amen.
