5 Common Temptations for Leaders and Their Devotional Life

Of course, we must step out of the prayer closet and put our devotional life to work, but that starts with a devotional life.

It’s amazing how faith in action shuts down doubt.

5. Avoid Quiet

I’ve learned that I can’t have my smartphone with me in my prayer room over recent years.

When I do take it with me because an important call is coming, but I don’t know when, like from a doctor, for example, I think I can’t miss that call!

But I can miss that call; I just don’t want to. It’s just part of the noise we’ve become accustomed to, and eventually, we think we can’t live without it.

Have you ever noticed that still and quiet can be uncomfortable? Yet, scripture, for example, Psalm 46:10, instructs us to be still and know that He is God.

We can even make our devotional life busy and complicated. Keep it simple. Find the tools you need that help you enjoy the consistency you desire.

Leadership Alone Isn’t Enough is a devotional that invites you to sit with God and soak in his grace, reflecting on leadership thoughts from His Word.
