Lead with wisdom

"The Israelites were weak with hunger that day, because Saul, with a solemn oath, had given the order: “A curse be on anyone who eats any food today before I take revenge on my enemies.” So nobody had eaten anything all day. They all came into a wooded area and found honey everywhere. The woods were full of honey, but no one ate any of it because they were all afraid of Saul's curse.

But Jonathan had not heard his father threaten the people with a curse; so he reached out with the stick he was carrying, dipped it in a honeycomb, and ate some honey. At once he felt much better. But one of the men said, “We are all weak with hunger, but your father threatened us and said, ‘A curse be on anyone who eats any food today.’ ”

Jonathan answered, “What a terrible thing my father has done to our people! See how much better I feel because I ate some honey! How much better it would have been today if our people had eaten the food they took when they defeated the enemy. Just think how many more Philistines they would have killed!”"

~ 1 Samuel 14.24-30 GNB

History is filled with egomaniacs who justify their actions with their own rationale and hurt the common people. They are blinded by their false sense of privilege. The world will be a better place, if all leaders are unselfish and wise.

Leadership is not a priviledge, but a responsibility to do right for those who follow.

I cannot change the world, but I can start with myself and my circumstances.

Dear God
please help me be wiser
