But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, “When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. Real honor comes from a place of humility.
God works everything for the good of those who love Him, as Romans says, and any financial setback, business decision gone south, or client loss will ultimately be used for your good, regardless of how it affects the organization itself. Others will take their cue from the leader, so keeping a steady faith that God will provide will encourage your team to do the same and unify the group in trusting Him. Though a leader experiences the pressure of heading up a team looking to him or her for guidance, he or she need not fret about potential failure, feedback on a certain project, or any other worldly measures of success. You don’t have to worry about daily provision.Īnd he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on…” If we are to live as we are called - set apart from the world - even in our vocations, we must look to Christ as the example for biblical leadership. The Gospel of Luke contains a wealth of insights into the principles of leadership as Jesus would display them. But this is how Jesus lived - counter-cultural, redefining who a leader should be. Biblical leadership often looks very different from the rest of the world.
