Personal Leadership All Day, Every Day

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3:17 Many Christians attempt to compartmentalize their lives into sacred and secular parts. They act one way on Sunday and a different way the rest of the week. They are aware of God for an hour on Sunday morning and perhaps for a few minutes each day when they read their Bible and pray, but they hardly think of him the rest of the time. One of the most life-transforming concepts is that we are in God’s presence all day, every day. We can relate to Him, serve Him, and depend on Him every moment – at work and at home, in the car and on the golf course, in the bedroom and in the boardroom. In his insightful and challenging book, “The Call”, Os Guiness defines our purpose as “the truth that God calls us to Himself so decisively that everything we are, everything we do, and everything we have is invested with a special devotion, dynamism, and direction lived out as a response to His summons and service”. This perspective gives meaning to every moment, and it challenges us to live with integrity in every choice and relationship because we represent God at all times. Does this perspective inspire you to use every part of your day more effectively as God’s servant, or does it threaten you because you realize some things in your life aren’t what they should be? It should do both. What are some of the negative consequences of compartmentalizing God into just a part of our lives? What would it mean to you to live as though everything we are, we do, we have, is for serving Him all day, every day? I’d love to talk to you personally.
