Doers

April 2, 2026 bobturner Daily Leadership, saltJournal 0 Comments

The Bible is filled with words connected to action.

James says, “be doers of the word, not merely hears.” We are deluded to think we can listen and never take action.

Jesus described the wise man and the foolish man. Both heard the same message, but the difference was recognized when the wise man acted and the foolish man did not.

Andy Stanley once said, “It is easier to educate a doer than to activate a thinker.”

May we all be doers who learn from the example of Jesus and His teachings, then leave an example for others that is worth emulating.

The Right Foundation

Jesus spoke of a wise and a foolish man. The difference between the two was the foundation upon which they were building.

When the bedrock of our leadership is based on spiritual qualities and characteristics, then people have a solid foundation to follow.

We must know who we are following. When we follow the leadership of Christ, we move in the right direction.

We must develop consistency between our words and actions. More than one leader has lost credibility because their actions contradicted their words.

The eternal success of our leadership is determined by the foundation upon which we build and help others stand upon.

Wise Counselors

One of the key lessons in leadership involves surrounding ourselves with wise counselors.

Why is this so beneficial?

  1. Personal wisdom is usually developed on limited education and experience.
  2. Many counselors provide a wise approach to well-informed decisions.
  3. The strengths possessed by others compliments our weaknesses.
  4. The idea is sanctioned by the wisdom of our God.

Personal experience should remind us that when we further our own agenda, or seek a position of authority, we are in danger of traveling a destructive path.

Listen to the wisdom of those who have the knowledge and experience to guide us to greater achievement.
