Devotional Worksheet | What will I choose to do with power?
April 6, 2023
There are make-or-break moments in our lives. Moments in which we have to decide what we’re going to do with power. What we choose to do with power shapes our character, determines our legacy, and directly impacts the people that look to us for leadership. What we do with power says everything about us, and our confidence in God. —Pastor Brad
What do you do with power and influence?
Jesus made a very clear statement about how power is used in the kingdom of God. He shows them by example, that whenever you find yourself holding power – you take that power and leverage it for the sake of the other people in the room. The last become first, and the first become last. The true leader becomes the servant.
Take time to think about how what you choose to do with the power and influence that you have.
1. Think of the people around you: your husband or wife, son or daughter, brother or sister…your friends, coworkers, and neighbors.
2. Next, think about those who might consider you to be their enemy. What can you do for them? Find ways to love them better. Find ways to serve them better.
