2.  The Undercurrent of Leadership.

Proverbs 21:2  (The Message)  “We justify our actions by appearances; God examines our motives.”

Verse 2 is a continuation of verse 1 in this regard.  That which is unseen beneath the current of our leadership is the undercurrent… our motives.  Our motives, as leaders, play a HUGE role in how we lead, where we lead, and the pace of our leadership.

It’s easy as a leader to “justify” as the verse says, our actions by the way things look, but we can never forget that God knows our heart.

If we don’t do the hard work of judging our heart’s motivations in how we lead, God will be forced to.  The wise leader submits their motives to God before God calls them on the carpet.

? When was the last time you sincerely checked your motives as a leader?
