What keeps you from living, loving, and leading like Jesus? Temptation? Fear? Pride? Have you allowed bitterness or resentment to grow in your heart? Have you substituted the world's wisdom and leadership philosophy for Jesus' model of servant leadership? Like Jesus' first disciples, we can come to Him, acknowledge our failure, and find truth, grace, and help to move forward.
Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”—Matthew 17:19-20
Prayer: Jesus, I know I can trust You to meet me where I am, pinpoint what holds me back, and show me how to move forward. Please show me how I can grow in Your likeness as a servant leader. Increase my faith, I pray in Your name, amen.
