March 16- Word To The Wise

Numbers 24:1-25:18
Luke 2:1-35
Psalm 59:1-17
Proverbs 11:14

Proverbs 11- 14 Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisers.

If wise leadership is required to keep a nation from being burnt to the ground, what does wise leadership do for a church? Churches need wise leadership! Churches need men who will think about the needs of others over themselves. To sense when people are hurting, and care as a means to help the situation. Many times, leadership wants the power, dignity, and prestige that comes from the title, without doing the hard task of furthering the Gospel through grace, patience, love, righteousness and truthfulness. I'd like to see leadership step up to the plate and start taking on that task of wisdom and caring. We need godly, wise leaders. Leaders willing to think, pray, engage in God's word, and hold to the truth of the Gospel. Having such leaders will help ensure that the future of the church will remain solid and focused on God.
