Nurturing a Godly Vision
(Proverbs 23:7-19)
Leaders understand the importance of their minds to the future of their organizations. Consider some of the timeless principles offered in Proverbs 23 about our minds and a godly vision for tomorrow.
1. Your thoughts determine your character (v. 7).
2. Be careful of your thoughts; they may break into words at any time (v. 7).
3. Don’t waste your thoughts on those who don’t hunger for them (v. 9).
4. The first person you lead is you, and the first organ you master is your mind (v. 12).
5. Don’t let your mind drift away from God’s truth and into vain envy (v. 17).
6. Stay confident that your vision will come to pass (v. 18).
7. Discipline your thoughts to remain steadfast in what you know is right (v.19).
For the kingdom,
