You Are Gifted: Leading

People tend to have a love-hate relationship with their leaders. On the one hand, they chafe under someone else’s rules, nitpick decisions they don’t like, and enjoy the ridicule leaders get from comedians. On the other hand, people are hungry for good leadership, and they groan when it’s bad. People need organization, communication, and above all inspiration and vision, and those things come from the Holy Spirit.

Good leadership doesn’t just happen--it’s one of the Spirit’s gifts. The Bible says, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If someone’s gift is . . . leadership, let him govern diligently” (Romans 12:6,8).

Are you in charge of other people in some way? Use your leadership not to serve yourself but to bring benefit to others.
