The Maxwell Leadership Reading Plan

DAY 17 OF 30

Leaders Must Do the Right Thing for the Right Reason

Leaders can so easily get caught up in doing things for image sake—after all, so many people are watching.

Jesus warns us about facades and hypocrisy. He means this text for everyone, with crucial application to leaders. Our Lord speaks about doing things to be seen by men rather than to please God (Matt. 6:1). Jesus wants to build strong convictions in His followers. He wants to produce God-pleasers (1 Thess. 4:1), not people-pleasers (Col. 3:22). In this text, Jesus covers our motives for:

  • doing good (v. 1)
  • giving to charity (vv. 2–4)
  • prayer (vv. 5–15)
  • fasting (vv. 16–18)
  • priorities and values (vv. 19–24)
  • work and worry (vv. 25–34)
