How long has it been since you've read a book, listened to a teaching, or attended a workshop to help you grow as a leader? No matter how much education and/or experience one has, there is always a need for personal growth and development. Just as an ax can become dull - so can leaders. That's why it is essential for leaders to take time to get away from their areas of service, go to the grindstone, and sharpen their ax.
Don't allow yourself to become dull and set in your ways. Don't allow yourself to think you're so busy that you don't have time because there's just so much that has to be done. That kind of mental and emotional rut will leave you with a dull ax and a diminished ability to lead God's people.
God is not satisfied with the status quo; God calls us all to grow! "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:18-19a)
We look forward to worship with you on Sunday!
