Leadership: A Word for Today

Joshua 1:9

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

Explanation

Biblical leadership isn't about position or control — it's servant leadership, putting others' good ahead of personal comfort or credit. Today's verse, Joshua 1:9, puts it simply: "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

Life Application

Lord, teach me to lead like Jesus led — with humility, service, and courage, never for my own glory.
