LEADERSHIP
GENESIS 3:6 (CEV)
She ate some of the fruit. Her husband was there with her, so she gave some to him, and he ate it too.
LUKE 6:39 (NTE)
Jesus told them this riddle. "What do you get when one blind man guides another? Both of them falling in a ditch!"
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Exercise care so that in your over-confidence you are not leading others astray.
PRAYER
God, thank you for your guidance and care. I confess that in my attempts to be like you I get carried away and act as an authority when I should be less confident. Help me to become a better follower before I try to lead others. I'm going to take a more humble approach. Amen.
