Jordan - Zechariah 10

Many people have leadership qualities as part of their makeup, others acquire these skills and others just assume leadership roles or have them thrust upon them.  Regardless of how one becomes a leader, their role is vital to the health of that group.  In this chapter, God recognizes the failure of the community leaders of the time.  In fact its as if there are no leaders and certainly no righteous ones.

Over the next year, I have a goal to become a stronger leader in my day job.  That doesn't mean leading more forcefully or getting a better job title.  I want to learn about what it means to be an effective leader.  What I have noticed over the past couple years and what I can see coming through in this chapter is that leadership is only successful through those you lead.  Here God isn't saying that God will do this and God will do that.  God will do things through us.  We are the intruments of change and God is merely the musician.
