Today I spent some time attending an online leadership conference called "The Nines". The concept is an entire day, September Ninth, of speakers giving quick six minute (nine minutes last year) talks all sharing the theme of "game changers". Talk about a fire hose of information and inspiration. I enjoyed hearing from a number of different voices, from many different backgrounds, in many parts of the world and with unique experiences and perspectives. I took some notes and actually grabbed a couple key thoughts that spoke very deeply to me.
It leaves me wondering through, how in the world did Moses lead all those people without this type of input? How did David lead armies as a young man without a one day fire hose conference like this? How in the world did Gideon ever conquer so many with so few men? The list goes on and on and on. None of them had "The Nines".
Like I said before, I enjoyed the conference and found it valuable.
But, the question stuck in me today is this; Am I willing to take the word of God as seriously as I take the words of men? Am I willing to go old school and get away on a hill somewhere and just listen to his voice. Am I willing to wait until I hear so clearly that I am driven with passion and conviction like never before?
It is too easy for me to listen to and trust men.
I idolize them.
I want the clarity, conviction, passion and empowering that can only come from Him.
That is my challenge today.
