Leading Through Challenging Circumstances, Day 64

Are you shining? Read Daniel 12:1-4.

As we’ve looked at the experiences of leaders through the eyes of Daniel, we have seen so many challenges. Daniel and his friends overcame bias, and persecution. They over became prejudice and death threats. They were leaders who truly epitomized what it means to lead through challenging circumstances.

So what is the reward for leading through situations like this? God places it here and says that leaders who lead will shine like the stars forever and ever. As we are wise and seeking God in everything we do, we can understand that leadership is something that will reflect God.

Leadership that is of God will point people to God and will glorify God. In the process, there’s so many shining opportunities. Are we leading people in a way that will glorify God and ultimately shine above everything else that we do?
