LEADERSHIP WISDOM FROM the WILDSample

Overcome Limitations

The ostrich cannot fly, but she can run. She cannot sing, but she can roar like a lion. She cannot mother tenderly, but she can survive in the desert. In every weakness, God has planted a strength.

Leadership is not the absence of limitation; it is the mastery of it. Paul said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). Consider key leaders in the Kingdom of God here on earth: they are all familiar with limitations, but they refuse to be stopped by them. God’s strength begins where yours ends.

Think of John Foppe, born without hands, yet he learned to paint, cook, drive, and write with his feet. He turned limitation into leadership. He became a celebrity that many people with complete limbs pay to see. The ostrich does the same; what she lacks in flight, she compensates for in speed.

So, what do we need? The discipline to overcome limitations. Stop excusing failure with “I can’t.” The power that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you. Run your race with faith, not fear.

Consider this: What “can’t” have you been believing? Where might God be calling you to turn limitation into leverage?
