He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. Isa 40:23

We love to be in charge don’t we? We love to be the boss, the head of department, the sports captain, the team leader, etc. There’s something about having a position of a title that makes us feel big. Problem is we start to feel big and forget that next to Jesus we are actually puny. We start to feel great and important that we forget that he is the King of kings and Lord of lords. A story is told of how the secretary of the president of South Korea called Paul Yonggi Cho’s office and the secretary told him that he couldn’t come to the phone because he was praying. “You don’t understand, the president would like to speak to Pastor Cho”. “No, you don’t understand, Pastor Cho is in a meeting with the president’s President!”

If you are a leader in whatever capacity, as a servant of God, remember your place of humility before the King of kings. Worship him, submit yourself to him and allow him to lead you as you lead others. As the Bible says in Psalms 2:10-11, “Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.”
