Leading When You Are Tired

The hardest time to lead your family or your community is when you have absolutely nothing left in the tank.

Spiritual leadership isn't about having boundless physical energy; it’s about where you anchor your soul when you are exhausted. When we rely on our own strength, we burn out, but God offers a different way.

Isaiah 40:29 and 31 in the ESV tells us, "He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength... they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength."

Alistair Begg said

"Our problem is that we try to do God’s work with our own energy. When you are empty, that is exactly when the power of Christ rests upon you. True spiritual leadership is born out of weakness, not self-sufficiency." 

Let's pray: Lord, when my strength is gone, let Your grace take over. I surrender my exhaustion to You today; fill me with Your Spirit so I can lead well even when I'm tired. Amen.

Thank you for joining me on From The Basement. I’m Timothy Andrew. This old basement may be humble, but it’s where I talk about life, faith, and finding God in the quiet, often overlooked places… where we keep showing up for one another, even in the basement.
