A God Thing

December 9, 2025 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

You read it correctly, “A God thing.” Think about the power behind this thought.

We face challenges in life. Difficulties often hit when we least expect them. Through the providential working of God, we may not see how we avoided a catastrophic event until we get past our frustration and look back.

We may not understand it at first, but maybe it’s a God thing.

How about our leadership? Is God doing a thing, His thing? Are we frustrated with the challenges or difficulties we encounter in leading others?

Sometimes we need to trust it may just be a God thing.

The Speed of Leadership

May 5, 2021 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

Life often goes by at “break-neck” speed and we struggle to keep up. Occasionally, a slower pace would be nice.

Life, however, is not always as easily planned as we might like.

Such is true in leadership. There will be days we accelerate the pace to accomplish certain tasks or reach specific goals. Other days move us to slow everything down.

The key is to prioritize what must be done today, be flexible – fast or slow, never hesitate to ask for help when needed, and trust in God’s providence.

It is amazing how and where God is working.

The Grand Scheme…

August 27, 2019 bobturner Daily Leadership, Uncategorized 0 Comments

Consider the “grand scheme” of things and our role as a leader in that scheme.

God’s mission is providentially guided throughout the history of Israel down to the coming, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus. 

The power of this mission/scheme is God’s continued involvement in our lives today.

If not careful we get distracted and even drawn away by the trivial areas of life, resulting in distorted priorities.

We need to pray that God will open doors. We also need to pray for the wisdom to see those opportunities and for the courage to pursue what God places before us in His grand scheme.
