As a leader, are you bringing all your gifts to the daily leadership moments? As we reflect on that answer, consider the leadership skills of Deborah. When we meet Deborah in the Bible she is presented as a wife, judge and international leader. Deborah made good use of all the gifts and opportunities God sent her way. Her gifts and opportunities teach us the qualities of great leaders:
Role Model. She led by example. She faced reality and exposed herself to the full consequences of her decisions as she advised and joined in the struggle.
Servant. She magnified God and served the people. She excelled at her job and helped others do the same with theirs.
Speaker. She spoke with authority. She grew strong and stepped forward when her wisdom was needed by her people.
Under Deborah's leadership, the oppression was lifted and the land had peace for forty years. May the characteristics of Deborah inspire us to share skills to grow a victorious team.
