Lead Strong: A Devotional for LeadersНамуна

As leaders, we're often conditioned to project an image of invincibility, to conceal our vulnerabilities behind a facade of strength. Yet, true strength isn't found in a facade; it's discovered in the raw authenticity of vulnerability. It's in those moments when we acknowledge our weaknesses and limitations that we open ourselves up to the transformative power of God's grace.

In 2 Corinthians 12:9, Paul offers us a profound insight into the nature of strength. He doesn't boast in his achievements or successes but rather in his weaknesses. He recognizes that it's in his moments of frailty that Christ's power is most evident. When we surrender our weaknesses to God, He doesn't just cover them up or ignore them; He transforms them into avenues for His strength to flow through. Our vulnerabilities become opportunities for God to display His power, His grace, and His glory.

So today, let's take a moment to reflect on these scriptures. Let's embrace our weaknesses, not as marks of failure, but as invitations for God to work in and through us. As we lean on Him, we'll discover a strength that transcends our limitations, empowering us to lead with courage and conviction. Let's lead not from a place of self-sufficiency but from a place of humble reliance on the One who gives us strength.
