11.1: Biblical Insight
Applying the Bible to Business
An important part of keeping workers motivated as a leader is first keeping yourself motivated. Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” This scripture commands each of us to be strong and courageous. We can do this because we can trust God is with us wherever we go. This means when things are good, God is with us. On the other hand, when things are challenging, God is also with us. No matter what, God is always with us. This truth can bring us strength and courage.
If we apply Joshua 1:9 to our life as a leader, we can have confidence God is with us in good and bad circumstances. As we lead, our strength and courage can be contagious to those around us.
