Any leader (e.g. former spouse) who is not secure in God will be insecure in her (his) leadership actions.
[ King Herod was such a leader.
He feared the loss of power and had to control every aspect of the people he was ruling.
When Herod heard about Jesus' coming birth, his insecurity became out of control and led to making life-threatening decisions for those in Jerusalem and Bethlehem.]
Such a leader has deep-seated control issues rooted in the 'fear of....' loss of power, money and prestige.
This also led to lying to protect her kingdom.
Whenever a leader has deep-seated control issues rooted in fear, her actions surface repeatedly when placed under stress.........
Arguments, manipulation of others, and confrontation with family members /subordinates usually follows.
However, a leader who has yielded his life and his work to God can relinquish outcomes to the Lord and let God change things that may go astray.........
A secure leader realizes God is the source of his power and leadership and he does not need to fear others who may demonstrate leadership qualities. (like his wife / spouse)
Instead, he is able to affirm them for the sake of the family / organization.
Pray that God makes me.......
makes you.......
.......such a leader who is secure in our position given by God.
