Principles of Leadership, Day 1

For the next several days, I invite you to come on a journey with me. I am researching and studying leadership principles from the Bible for a bigger project that I am working on. Let’s take a look at Hebrews 13:7.

This verse is such a strong reminder about the importance of integrity. Whether you consider yourself a leader or not, this still applies. People are looking at your life, every day. People are comparing your actions with their understanding of what right. Do we do what we know we should be doing? Do our actions line up with our words?

When I think of integrity, I think of an entire philosophy of life and of the commitment that an individual has to live out that philosophy, regardless of who is watching. That philosophy must line up with the Godly wisdom and desperate need of Jesus Christ that we all have.

This verse reminds us of two truths. First, people are watching our lives and will be checking to make sure that our actions line up with our words. Second, we have a responsibility to evaluate the lives of the leaders that influence us and ensure that they are acting with integrity.
