Every leader knows the tempest.
“They were merchants on the mighty waters…A tempest lifted the waves….In peril, their courage melted away….they reeled and staggered….they were at their wit’s end.”
It’s what a leader does next – what happens in the tempest – that reveals character. The leader is defined in and by the crucible.
“They cried out to the Lord in their trouble….He brought them out of their distress….He stilled the storm….He guided them to their desired haven.”
Resist the temptation to abandon ship. This is a holy moment. Your moment. Rely upon Him. Ask for skill. Ask for resolve. Ask for wisdom. Carry the vision. Make port.
He molds us at the helm, not in the hold. Psalm 107.
Q: What moment will mold you today?
