31 Days - Day 17

Value-Driven Leadership (Psalm 15:1-5)




Psalm 15 furnishes us with a list of leadership traits. The character of those who may dwell with the Lord.

David describes a righteous person who walks with integrity and gains not only the respect of others, but also an audience with God (Ps. 15:1,2). He demonstrates why predetermined values and ethics, not expediency, must drive our leadership. How does David picture a godly leader? The leader...
  • possesses integrity - v.2
  • does what is right - v.2
  • is honest and trustworthy - v.2
  • does not gossip - v.3
  • does not listen to gossip - v.3
  • does not harm others  - v.3
  • speaks out against wrong - v.4
  • honors others who walk in truth  - v.4
  • keeps their word even when it costs them  - v.4
  • isn't greedy to gain at the expense of others - v.5 
  • takes no bribes against anyone - v.5 
  • is strong and stable  - v.5 
God honors those who keep their word.



The Maxwell Leadership Bible, p. 656

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...

I believe he knew the power of a story to capture hearts and bring joy while effectively delivering a specific message. He often used parables to tea...
