During devotions this morning (oh and GOOD MORNING NOSTRICHES!) I’m finishing up a book written by a former pastor, now business man / retired.
“The world will keep offering cheap substitutes:
- Passivity that numbs your purpose and silences your leadership
- Fake strength that masks insecurity with dominance and control
- Aimless scrolling that trades real focus for distraction
- Avoiding people, conversations, and hard projects in the name of busyness
- Barking orders instead of earning respect
- Relying on titles or positions instead of building trust
- Living by double standards while demanding others step up
- Playing the victim instead of taking responsibility None of that reflects the character of Christ.
Biblical manhood calls you higher. It calls you to live with conviction, consistency, and courage. Not to retreat into comfort or to dominate others, but to lead with integrity and serve with strength. That is the standard.”
The “Aimless scrolling [finding a show to watch] that trades real focus for distraction” is an area I need to be mindful of in the moment and proactively combat!
How about you? Anything from this list (or something else) Holy Spirit is convicting you of (or has convicted you in the past that you’ve overcome)?
