Defining a leader varies depending on the person. However, among many that exist, one describes a leader as “a short length of wire by which a hook is attached to a fishing line.”

The design of this wire is tough to prevent fish from cutting it. In numerous places, this material is often made of steel, which adds to the thought.

Regardless of how one might define a leader today, we know a leader must be strong, able to withstand any challenge. It is not a matter of if, but when these challenges come.

Spiritual leaders need to remember that the strength for each challenge comes from God.
