My List of Leaders

I came across a simple and short verse in my daily Bible reading that really stirred my heart. Check this out…

Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith. (Hebrews 13:7 NLT)

I went back to my childhood and started making a list of people who had taught me and influenced me. It was a humbling but helpful exercise. I was reminded that I am who I am today because of so many people along the way.

As I made my list, and a huge wave of gratitude came over me. Many of the people on my list have gone on before me, but some are still alive and I have the opportunity to tell them that they are on my list.

If you’re reading this, I challenge you to make a list.

The cool think that happened to me as I made my list, the Lord reminded me that I’m likely on some others lists. I wasn’t expecting the blessing that came over me because of that thought.

My list includes: parents, grandparents, Preachers, teachers, friends, acquaintances, worship leaders, professors, co-workers. I have 95 on my list and I’m still counting!

Pressing On!
