Today’s devotional talks about these important traits that we all must have in order to be godly leaders.

Three Key Traits Leaders Must Have
# 216
Deuteronomy 1:13 (NLT)
Choose some men from each tribe who have wisdom, understanding, and a good reputation, and I will appoint them as your leaders.

Wisdom, understanding, and a good reputation are the character traits God told Moses to look for in the leaders Moses was to appoint to help him lead His people. These are key traits you must have to be a successful leader. The question is how do you acquire them? Wisdom is a gift from God you can simply ask for if you’re lacking it and He will gladly give it to you. In these days, you need godly wisdom not worldly wisdom to do your job. Understanding comes the same way, by asking God to open the eyes of your understanding, so you are enlightened by the truth of His Word. Only by reading His Word, meditating, and studying it, will you acquire the knowledge that only comes from Him.

By doing God’s Word and obeying His commandments, you establish a good reputation. When you don’t compromise what you believe and always do what is right and pleasing to God, He rewards you with good reputation. As a Christian, you are responsible for having a good reputation because you represent Him here on earth.

Therefore, ask God to show you if you need to develop as a leader in any of these areas.
