I am constantly amazed where I learn or pick up on phrases with such powerful meaning in leadership.

Last week I received an e-mail from a very good friend with the tag “let my words testify…let my actions magnify…let my heart glorify the Lord.”

As the words played over and over in my mind I could not stop thinking about spiritual leadership.

The words we speak, the actions we demonstrate, and the attitudes we portray become building blocks for our leadership.

A similar thought is expressed by the Psalmist in answering the question “O Lord, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill?” The answer follows; “he who walks with integrity, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart.”

The church, the world, co-workers, friends, neighbors, and our family are all watching us. They measure our character by the words and actions displaying our attitude.

Spiritual leaders must constantly and diligently guard every aspect of life.

Let our words testify…Let our actions magnify…Let our hearts glorify the Lord.
