Handling Leadership Low Points

As leaders, we often live in the future rather than the now. We focus all of our efforts on building teams to make the future better, brighter, less painful. Every now and then however, leaders get a taste of reality. We are faced with what actually is, not what will be.

When this happens, it has a tendancy to take us down a few notches. It makes us question if we are on the right track. It can even cause us to stumble by looking horizontally at what is, rather than vertically at what God wants it (and us) to be.

I get into these situations every month or two. Something doesn’t go quite right. I make a mistake that I don’t want to make but I do. Or, I don’t do something that I should do.

It hurts. Painfully.

The true test, however, is what we do after that. Do we seek God for strength and endurance? Or do we seek something or someone else?
