We can make our plans, but it's the Lord who guides our steps.
— Proverbs 16:9
Leadership is a profound responsibility that requires not only skill but also a heart attuned to God's will. The Bible teaches us that while we may make plans, it is ultimately the Lord who directs our steps (Proverbs 16:9). This highlights the importance of seeking divine guidance in every decision, reminding us that our human understanding is limited. Leaders are called to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). This means that true leadership is not about power or control, but about service and humility. Moreover, as we lead, we must remember the words of James, that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, who gives generously (James 1:5). This reliance on God transforms our leadership into a reflection of His character, encouraging those we lead to trust in His plans as well. By centering our leadership on prayer and God's Word, we create an environment where faith flourishes and His purpose is fulfilled.
