Are you able to balance spontaneity and planning? (137-3)

Written by Barry-Werner on September 1st, 2010. Posted in Leadership Principles, Long-Range Planning, Old Testament, Proverbs.

Wise Christian leaders understand that both spontaneity and planning are part of God’s design for effective leadership. It is when leaders find a balance between the two that they also have the potential to find peace knowing the outcome is controlled by God. Read Proverbs 16:1-3.

God is the great designer of all creation and we see His spontaneity in His creation every day. God is also the ultimate long-range planner. He has established a plan with minute detail for every part of His dominion that reaches from the beginning of time until the end of time as we know it. Since humans are created in God’s image, wise leaders seek to mirror God’s image in all areas of their life including structure and spur-of-the-moment decisions.
