Lead Like Jesus: 21 Days of LeadershipSample

Day by Day

Everyone seems to have an agenda for our lives—bosses, team leaders, clients, co-workers, friends, our children. Even Jesus had to work to maintain His focus in the midst of training followers, meeting needs, public speaking, demanding crowds, and a busy travel schedule. How did Jesus maintain His focus? He regularly made time to get away with His Father to talk things over. How do you maintain your focus?

At daybreak Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them.—Luke 4:42

Prayer: Jesus, if You needed to take time with God to stay focused, then I know I need to make a point of spending time with God, too. Thank You for this reminder today. Help me to keep time with You at the top of my priorities. In Your Name, Amen.
