With authority comes the need for...

With authority comes the need for accountability.  With popularity comes the need for humility.  With prosperity comes the need for integrity.  ~ Charles Swindoll 

Have you ever worked for someone who has authority but chooses to not be accountable to anyone?  Maybe you’ve seen someone whose popularity went to their head and they became very arrogant?  Then there are those who you’ve probably seen who quickly become wealthy and then become ruthless because of it.  ALL of these situations will lead to a fall.

Use wisdom when authority, popularity and prosperity come your way.  But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.  James 1:5

God loves us and wants the absolute best for each and every one of us every moment of our every day.  When…not if… we need wisdom, we only need to ask God for it.  He will not fail us or mislead us.  He IS faithful!  Put your trust in Him and believe!
