Follow The Leader

S ~ Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith. Hebrews 13:7

O ~ It is essential that leaders finish well, as an example of genuine faith. It's important to focus on the good that has been done through their lives, not on failures or mistakes.  Imitate what is good,

A ~ I need to remember my leaders who have taught me the Word of God, and the good that has come from their lives. I have a lot of people in my life who have done a lot of good.  Sunday school teachers (Shirley Trodden, Mrs Giesbrect...), youth leaders (Marv & Heather, Gordie), ministry leaders (Ed Weiss), Pastors (Dave, Grady & Christina), Bosses, Teachers & Overseers (John and Rita, George, James Thomas, Arnie, Vic, Tim, Barry, Steve, Larry), and mentors (Daniel, Pastor Jack). It's amazing how many have finished well, and how much good has been done through their lives. I have a lot of people to look up to, to follow their example, and to honour. So many have poured into my life, and I'm grateful.

P ~ Lord, thank you for MY leaders, for their teaching, and their manner of life. Thank you for all the good they have done  - may their reward be great. Please help me to be a leader who faithfully teaches Your Word, and leads a life that can be an example to others - as I point people to You.
