Sometimes I wish I could be a better leader. At staff meeting today programs were presented that I had questions and concerns about their cost effectiveness. Of course, I realize that one cannot put a price on a changed life. And I would be the first to admit that I do not always know how or the way God ‘works.’ So, I am sure that the staff wondered about my faith and vision. It is budget time and I am sure I seemed like a keeper of the money bag. Now I sit at home wishing I had been a better leader.
So, I not only am thinking I am also taking this time to pray. I am asking God for forgiveness for a prideful attitude that thinks I know it all. I am also praying for God to guide me as a ‘lead’ pastor. Believe it or not, I do not have all the answer and I do not function in a perfect way. But on a positive note I do know a perfect God who works all things (even my ways) for good. Today I am thanking God for being God.
