Morning Thought: Real leaders change the environment around them by the righteous lives they live. They leave a lasting legacy of moral revolution. These are the kinds of leaders God is raising up in our time. They transform his church and eventually the world around us. Guess what? God has chosen you. “See how the faithful city has become a prostitute! She once was full of justice; righteousness used to dwell in her— but now murderers…I will restore your leaders as in days of old, your rulers as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City” (Isaiah 1:21, 26 NIV).
