If the Lord has placed you in leadership, be mindful that it is not to puff you up (or to stir pride within), but rather so that you are in a position to show others Christ!
It also doesn't promote or gain approval to gripe, complain, tear others down or give approval to dive into discontentment. Can you imagine how a grumbly Moses would sound!? We must remember, none are perfect but Christ! In this we must keep at the forefront of our minds His grace, His mercy and His compassion towards those who followed Him. What a crowd of characters that followed Him, right? People of all backgrounds and lifestyles.
Listen whole heartedly to what He said to His disciples...
"Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them." John 13:13-17
So, the Lord has placed you in leadership... whether on the job or within your home, maybe even in the community or in your church. Someone is watching you, learning from you,and will absorb your example. Are you lifting up others above yourself or do you seize the moment to verbally put others down to lift yourself up?
Are you showing them Jesus? Are we being His hands and feet to those He's placed in our care to lead?
