Ep. 152: Exercising Wisdom in Leadership Challenges

SHOW NOTES:

In Podcast Episode 152, “Exercising Wisdom in Leadership Challenges,” Kim discusses some of the challenges David faced in 1 Samuel 29 and 30, and how he handled each one in a Godly manner. Some of the challenges came from the circumstances, some from the men he led, and other challenges were internal. May God show you your areas of leadership and provide the wisdom and discernment you need to lead in Christlikeness and toward Christlikeness.

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 30:9-31 with 9-10, 21-24 as the focal verses.

9 So David and his 600 men set out, and they came to the brook Besor. 10 But 200 of the men were too exhausted to cross the brook, so David continued the pursuit with 400 men.

21 Then David returned to the brook Besor and met up with the 200 men who had been left behind because they were too exhausted to go with him. They went out to meet David and his men, and David greeted them joyfully. 22 But some evil troublemakers among David’s men said, “They didn’t go with us, so they can’t have any of the plunder we recovered. Give them their wives and children, and tell them to be gone.”

23 But David said, “No, my brothers! Don’t be selfish with what the Lord has given us. He has kept us safe and helped us defeat the band of raiders that attacked us. 24 Who will listen when you talk like this? We share and share alike—those who go to battle and those who guard the equipment.”

ADDITIONAL VERSES:

6 Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you.

Love her, and she will guard you.

7 Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!

And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. (Proverbs 4:6-7)
