Leading In God’s Presence

To lead effectively and achieve success, God must be first in your life.  The Bible is full of examples of leaders who floundered because their focus was on something other than God’s divine plan and purpose.

A leader’s relationship with God must be the number one priority, and form the foundation of his/her life.  God is not one of a list of things to balance, He is the reason that we do all of the things that we balance.
