MEDITATION:
This Meditation is from the Lead Like Jesus Devotional blog. The Lead Like Jesus organization was cofounded by Ken Blanchard and Phil Hodges.
Leading like Jesus doesn’t mean we always know what to do. Discerning the path forward frequently requires multiple considerations, some of which are not readily clear. Jesus modeled for His disciples a constant turning to the Father as He navigated the ups and downs of life. When He needed to select key leaders, He spent the night in prayer. After a long day of ministry, He stayed up late or woke up early to spend time with the Father. When in doubt, when pressure mounts, when you need to find a way forward, follow Jesus’ example, and turn to the Father.
PRAYER:
From the Gregorian Sacramentary, A 10th century illuminated Latin manuscript ascribed to Gregory 1.
O Lord, we beseech You mercifully to receive the prayers of Your people who call upon You; and grant that they may both perceive and know what things they ought to do, and also may
have grace and power faithfully to fulfill the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.
