This morning I completed the famed Trip Nip by Qing all three Hillsborough AOs in one week. Have you ever felt like leading, but thought you may be taking the Q too often? The northern province not only invites you to lead three times in one week, they’ll award you a plaque for doing so. Talk about an invitation!
As we counted off 11 PAX, I was thankful that these brothers enable me to lead. There’s a difference in being a leader and being in charge, like a manager or boss. The later has some sort of structure and or leverage that forces other to obey. Matthew 8:9 says:
For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.
That Roman soldier told Jesus that he gave and took orders. He understood whatever authority he appeared to have was bestowed him by assignment and organizational structure. One only becomes a leader when others choose to follow. A choice made not of external leverage like mandates or threats, but a choice made of one’s own free will.
In a place and time that encourages us to strive valiantly to elevate ourselves, I’m grateful to know men concerned with elevating one another.
