It is easy to follow the crowd.

 

It is easy to take the path of least resistance.

 

It is easy to be mediocre.

 

But God has called us to greater things….even in our times where we think we are not needed.

 

I am sure that David, as he watched over the sheep, wondered if he would ever do anything meaningful.

 

But the reality was that God was training him to take down a giant ….. And he didn’t even know it.

 

The world will tell you many things:

  1. You Only Live Once
  2. You Are An Accident That Is The Result Of Some Cosmic Explosion
  3. You Don’t Matter

 

But the reality is this:  You DO Matter

And what you do:  It Matters

 

Take that responsibility seriously-

What You Do Matters

 

So Be A Leader

 

What does that look like in your personal life?….I don’t know.  But the Lord—He KNOWS. And He will lead you.

 

A good friend of mine who I respect VERY MUCH….had this read at his wedding:

Psalm  1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,

which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither.  Whatever he does prospers.

 

I see this verse written all over his life—and I always have.

 

I think it is because the Lord has put so much honor on him because the Lord knows that he will carry it.

 

And he does……..

He does not follow counsel from evil men

He does not mock people

He does not condone, or entertain, or water down….sin

And he is very committed to being right with the Lord

 

Is he perfect?  No.

 

But he does inspire me to do the one thing that all of us should try to do:

 

He inspires me to be a better man.

 

So I challenge you today…

Be A Leader

 

Ask God to show you what that means specifically to your life.

 

And then go and do your best.  Because when God impacted my friend He changed his life…..

And God working in his life has inspired me—-to be a better man.

 

So….Be A Leader…..because you never know who is watching.

 

In The Name of the Father and the

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
