Ever heard this? QUESTION: how do you eat an elephant? ANSWER: one bite at a time.
I feel at times that there is just too much to do and too much in front of me, yet I am grateful for the great people who have partnered with Jesus and with me.
As I move through the next month, I am using a helpful tool my dad gave me. It is a book by John Maxwell, leadership guru, called The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, and I hope to give you some thoughts I am gleaning from God and from this book.
Today’s reading is on CHARACTER…Maxwell writes, “Character is more than talk…Talent is a gift, but character is a choice…Character brings lasting successful with people…Leaders cannot rise above the limitations of their character…”
Those are just the highlights and give me and you much to think about and set our eyes on. God gives us some insight about our Character, and I close with these verses:
“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely , whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.” Philippians 4:8 (NASB)
“Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.” Colossians 3:2 (NASB)
“And endurance develops strength of character in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation of salvation.” Romans 5:4 (NLT)
