Even though you are the king, your confidence must be in God. When you are the boss, holding the top position, it is easy to be distracted by the trappings that come with your office. Wealth, influence, friends, and power can become intoxicating. Yet wise leaders know where their strength ultimately lies. They find their joy not in the accolades of sycophants or in the press clippings tracking their success, but in their God.
When the office is gone, when the job is over, when the followers have departed, God will remain. It is in God that these leaders place their confidence because He is the bedrock to their existence. He is the one, unalterable, consistent, reliable relationship that they have.
When we place our confidence and our future in Him, we share in God’s reflected glory. God’s success becomes our success. His glory, our glory. Even the king understood that despite all he might look to for his own success and security, nothing compared to the confidence he found in identifying his reign, and his life, with God.
You may be the leader of a large organization or a small one. The crucial reality is not who you lead, but Who you serve.
