People can make their plans, but it is the Lord who ultimately guides their actions.
— Proverbs 16:9
Leadership is a profound responsibility, and as Christians, we must recognize the importance of divine guidance in this role. Scripture teaches us that while we can make our plans, it is ultimately the Lord who determines our steps. This reminds us to seek His will above our own ambitions (Proverbs 16:9). Effective leaders are those who are grounded in prayer, drawing strength and wisdom from God. They understand that true leadership is not about power or control but about servanthood and love, reflecting the example set by Christ Himself. Jesus taught us that the greatest among us must be a servant (Mark 10:43-45), challenging our understanding of authority. As we pray for our leaders, let us also remember that each of us is called to lead in our own spheres of influence, taking inspiration from the humility and grace that Christ embodied. By seeking God’s guidance, we can ensure that our leadership is aligned with His purpose.
