Have you ever watched someone step into leadership with all the wrong motivations? The catastrophic results can be both predictable and painful to witness.

This week, I'm sharing a particularly personal devotional that weaves together my experience with an ego-driven retail manager and the shocking biblical account of Abimelech from Judges 9. What happens when someone claims authority because of who they know rather than who they serve? When they prioritize status over stewardship?

As we examine both stories, we're confronted with challenging questions about our own leadership motivations: Have we ever stepped into roles thinking we didn't need to grow or listen? Have we dismissed those God placed in our path to help us?

Whether you're leading a team, a family, or simply navigating your own path, this devotional will challenge you to examine the difference between self-appointment and divine anointing. Subscribe, share with others who might need this message, and join the conversation about what authentic, God-honoring leadership looks like in our everyday lives.
