NIV Once-A-Day Bible for LeadersCampione

Matthew 13:16–17 We must use wisdom and good judgment as we lead ... We must at all times turn an ear to heaven. We must listen as the Holy Spirit, our supernatural data source, speaks into our decision-making process the wisdom we need the most ... Is there enough quietness in your life for you to hear the whispers of the Holy Spirit? Do you have the guts to carry out promptings, even though you might not understand them fully, and even though your team might question your wisdom? Are you willing to walk by faith? Will you commit yourself to allowing the Spirit to fully inform your decision-making? When a leader combines the promptings of the Holy Spirit with other sources of decision-making data—​core convictions, influencing mentors, and the lessons of pain—​that leader will operate with ever-increasing levels of decision-making prowess.
