The Lie of Power
The lie of power is a common one for leaders. You will be tempted to think of yourself as better than those you serve. No, you won’t be caught saying it aloud, but you will be praised for seeking a higher position and gaining more authority. Through the shifts, only you will know that you’re working to elevate yourself above others.
In these verses from Luke, Jesus explained that real power is in humility. He said, “Whoever is greatest among you should become like the youngest…” (Luke 22:26). One quick way to know how bad your quest for power has become is by asking yourself, “Do I really know what others think of my leadership?”
Sadly, many leaders struggle with power-tripping tendencies and never ask for feedback. You assume you know what others think—and wrongly attribute positive adjectives to your leadership. The best way to do this is to ask others how you can improve, or what you’re weakest at, and then listen.
Jesus modeled obedience to His Father’s will. When He was young, He was obedient to His parents (Luke 2:51). Throughout His life He completed His Father’s will. Instead of power tripping, He suffered obediently (Heb. 2:18). His will was to do what God wanted, “Yet not my will, but yours be done” (Luke 22:42).
God, help me resist the lie of power and instead focus on serving You and others with humility. Would you help me find the humble confidence that comes from knowing I’m serving You?
