The Five Ships of Opportunity: Leadership
Teach me Your way, O LORD, and lead me.
Psalm 27:11

Psalm 27:11-14 [ iz3.me]
In a new children's book, writer Brad Meltzer tells how the famous aviator Amelia Earhart was told as a child not to pursue "unladylike adventures," but she didn't listen. At age seven, she built her own roller coaster in the backyard using a wooden packing box, planks, roller skate wheels, and lard, which served as grease. From the beginning, she was an innovator and a leader.

Whatever your age or stage in life, perhaps you'll have the opportunity today to be an innovator and a leader. Perhaps you'll have the opportunity to lead a church, to lead a team, to lead a Bible study, to lead a mission trip, to lead in prayer, to lead your family in devotions, or to lead a soul to Christ. Even if you don't think of yourself as a leader, you are one -- or can be.
Leadership is an opportunity for Spirit-filled people to serve others on this roller coaster called life. Offer this prayer today: "Lord, lead me to be a leader; teach me to be a teacher; help me to be a helper; and bless me to be a blessing."
The fullness of the Spirit is an essential and indispensable experience for spiritual leadership. And each of us is as full of the Spirit as we really want to be.
