Your Desire Affects Your Leadership

What do you want?

Why do you want it?

How much effort are you willing to make to achieve it?

Try the following self-assessment.

1. Y/N: What I want aligns with God’s will.
2. Y/N: My reasons for wanting it are to do what God asks.
3. Y/N: I am willing to make the necessary sacrifices to do it including:

• • Treasuring God’s commands, Pro 2:1. 
  • Listening to Him with my mind and heart, Pro 2:2. 
  • Fervently praying for discernment and understanding, Pro 2:3. 
  • Diligently searching His Word for wisdom, Pro 2:4. 

If you can answer Yes to all three questions, your desire is contributing to your effectiveness as a leader, Pro 2:5.
