People do what people see
Posted July 20th, 2010 by Mike CucciaScripture
Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before the LORD his God. And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered. 2 Chronicles 31:20-21
Observation
The bible describes Hezekiah as a leader that led by example. He inherited an unholy mess, left by his father, king Ahaz. In his reign as king, Hezekiah repaired the temple, restored worship, removed idols, repented for the people and required a change in the land. Once the people of Israel saw his example of worship, they followed suit. Hezekiah knew that people do what people see.
Application
Leaders are an example to others in every aspect of life. My life as a leader is on display and will impact those people around me. I must incarnate the life of Christ that I desire in me first, before I can lead my family and others. As I seek God with all my heart, I will by God’s grace grow into the leader that He has created me to be.
Prayer
Father, I pray that I grow in Your grace to become all that You created me to be. I place You first in all that I do today and declare that you are Lord over my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
