Bless Our Leaders

 Isaiah 25-28; Hebrews 13 

“Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith…Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden…”

Hebrews 13:7, 17

Leaders are servants of God and are held accountable by God for the Church entrusted into their care. This stewardship relationship means healthy leaders recognize people belong to the Lord first, not to the leaders of the Church. Godly leaders must lead by their character and life of faith first, and not just their words and positional authority. When we submit to Christ’s authority in the Church, we are submitting to Christ. In a generation that struggles with authority, this can be a powerful witness to the world around us. Ask the Lord how you can bless the lives of his leaders today.

“Thank you, Lord, for those who have taken on leadership in your Church. I choose to honor your authority through them, for your glory.”
