What does it look like to be a humble leader? Obviously, to be a humble leader is to be soft spoken until everybody needs you, then you will step up, save the day, and everyone will listen to you from then on, right…?
Read Ecclesiastes 9:14-16 and journal your thoughts
Honestly what were your first thoughts when you read that story? For some of us it is kind of a downer isn’t it? It’s almost like we expect the poor man’s fortunes to turn around, don’t we? Because that’s how the story goes in our culture, the poor man saves the day and becomes a big hero. But that’s not what happens here, because that’s not humility.
Living a life of humility is not the secret to become a big named man/woman of God, but the secret of how to live abundantly here. A truly humble person isn’t humble to gain some sort of advantage, but to embrace the lifestyle of a servant, someone who give themselves away for others. We are not promised fame, or fortune, or even that everything will be easy in our lives if we live humble lives, but we will still live that abundant life. We will still be living that life that God is calling us to live.
Today pray that you would be humble regardless of the benefits
