Me: Are you ready for your interview?
Prodigal: I hope so, any advice?
Me: You need to keep your saddle oiled and your gun greased.
Prodigal: Thanks, and just some encouragement please!
This is from the book Spiritual Leadership by J. Oswald Sanders
Montgomery outlined seven qualities necessary for a military leader, each appropriate to spiritual warfare: the leader must 1. avoid getting swamped in detail; 2. not be petty; 3. not be pompous; 4. know how to select people to fit the task; 5. trust others to do a job without the leader’s meddling; 6. be capable of clear decisions; 7. inspire confidence.
You are overwhelmed with your task today and are begging for God’s direction. You cannot focus because of the stress. Here is your answer. Remember God can bring clarity at anytime and you did right by calling out to him.
1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
