Utmost 10/27

Check out My Utmost for His Highest for today.

I like this devotional because it is altogether ironic and true. Those who find themselves in Christian leadership (pastors, youth ministers, elders, missionaries) can find themselves very far from Jesus.

It is so easy to get consumed with the idea that, "I am a leader for Christ," that you altogether for Christ and just think, "I am a LEADER."

We must not forget who he is (our leader, savior, all in all, first and last) so that we become arrogant and rely on our own wits and strength. If you are a Christian leader, be careful not to forget about your relationship with Jesus. Pray without ceasing. Remember who he is. Lead by following him.
