Leadership ... the greatest is the one who serves

Morning: Psalm 31; Isaiah 7:10-25; 2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5

Evening: Psalm 35; Haggai 1:1-15; Luke 22:14-30

For 3 years, I was privileged to work in a Roman Catholic hospital. There, I learned an important lesson about leadership from a new V.P., Beth. Beth began her first team meeting with some preliminary introductions. She then said that she would like us to speak a little about how she might be of service to us, the members of her team. Over the years, she delivered. Beth made concrete the lesson that Jesus taught his disciples when they argued about who was the greatest: “The leader must be among you as one who serves.” Just so, in every circumstance.
