Day 18: Romans 10:9

“If You Confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”


Have you ever found yourself missing the big picture? You’ve probably heard the saying, “He can’t see the forest for the trees,” haven’t you?

Sometimes as Christian leaders we forget the big picture. We forget why God has made us, and why He uses us. We get so busy trying to be leaders that we forget why we lead.

Don’t ever forget that the gospel is preimminent in every thing we do. As the great commission explains, our purpose here on earth is redemptive. We literally exist to spread the gospel.

We often forget that. We’re too busy trying to save the world from a number of other disasters, or trying to consume for our own pleasure, or we’re so caught up in our daily lives that we just don’t realize it.

God loves us so much that Jesus died in our place. We are recipients of that love, and if we truly are, then we will share it with others. As you are in school, at work, with your friends, or wherever you spend your time, remember what you’re here for: to be an image-bearer of God and display His grace and love for the world to see.

CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE: Don’t forget what you’re here for. Leadership is a calling that God has given you to work for the Kingdom of God, and that means that the Gospel is central to that calling.

Here’s a verse to meditate on today: John 3:16

Prayer: Father, help me keep my priorities straight. Help me to share Your gospel in word and deed with the whole world. In Christ’s name I pray, amen.
