There’s infighting, depression, and stress among your team. You have no confidence in yourself as a leader and feel cold or dead inside. You may also realize that you are in spiritual decay and feel far from God. The good news is that this does not have to be the end. David found himself in a similar situation, down in the spiritual pit, far form the presence of God. This lesson will explain the tools you need to get out of the dumpster fire and back on the path to success with your leadership and your followers.

As a continuation of our previous lesson on revenge, this lesson is a broader view of how to react to problems when they arise. Letting our emotions guide our response can easily lead to more problems and rash decision making. So, what method do we use to stay level-headed? It involves patience, time, and steady calmness when you want to absolutely freak out inside.

The question is, what do you do about it? When opportunities for revenge arise, it is tempting to seek personal justice and humiliate those who offended us. However wise, dependable, and godly leaders and their teams are not forged in the pits of revenge. They are forged through the fire of holiness and holy living. David had several opportunities for revenge on King Saul. This becomes a defining moment for his followers and a teaching moment for us on how to act when the temptation for revenge arises.

Do you feel “lonely at the top”? Or perhaps you know a friend who is “lonely at the top.” An overlooked piece of leadership is relationships, especially that with friends and/or family. Leaders need people in a similar way that people need leaders. If you are a leader, who are your close friends supporting, counseling, and encouraging you in your leadership role? If you are friends with a leader, how are you supporting, advising, and encouraging your leader? This lesson is all about the power of friendship in leadership and will help you discern what kind of person you need to find or maybe you need to be.

But much like winning the lottery, victory is often followed by darker companions. After a great victory against Goliath, David suddenly found himself at the end of Saul’s spear. As leaders it’s important we know how to handle victories even when things turn sour shortly after. David’s story provides a lot of insight on how to do this well while keeping the most important thing in focus: our relationship with God.
