Today in our Inspired Leadership Minute I want to us look at Proverbs 16:8: “Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.”
It’s clear this proverb is referring to money, our incomes, and by extension, our possessions. It is better to have a very modest income and earn it honestly than to have a large income and lots of possessions earned dishonestly or through fraud.
As Christians leaders, we should always choose what is right, even if it means we live with a little less income. It means we walk away from a sale rather than stretch the truth about our product. It means our products live up to every claim we make. It means we honor our commitments to our employees even if it costs us money. It means we never choose the dishonest path in the pursuit of worldly treasure.
Our role as Christian leaders is to use all of our God-given talents righteously; in ways that bring honor to God. Whether we have much or not so much, God expects us to use what He gives us with integrity.
That’s it for this week’s Inspired Leadership Minute. My prayer is that together we will be the powerful, inspired leaders God intends us to be!
