The opposite of insecurity is a God-centered life. If you allow God to satisfy the deepest parts of who you are, your leadership won’t be a proving ground for your worth. It will be a battleground for Kingdom impact.
Of course, this isn’t easy. It’s not a snap of the finger. There’s a lot of inner work that needs to be done. But I’ll tell you this: It’s worth it.
God centered security. Knowing who we are. Without it, insecurity will always win.
- Insecurity will keep you from developing others. You’ll be too concerned with getting ahead.
- Insecurity will keep you from empathy. You’re too busy being the center of attention.
- Insecurity will keep you from compassion. Because no one was ever there for you, right?
- Insecurity will keep you from growing a large team. You are the lid that limits the growth.
- Insecurity will keep you from your creative potential. Because you aren’t the best and you need a team.
- Insecurity will keep you from pastoring people. Instead, you’ll use them for your own ends.
A victory today would be to call out your own insecurity. Name it. And go to war. And that war is worship. There’s nothing more deadly to insecurity than worship. Worship puts everything in context: We see Who God is, we see who we are, and we become more satisfied to “seek first the Kingdom.”
His Presence changes everything. Do you agree?
