Have you ever had to deal with a leaky radiator? Every day you have to refill it with fluid only to have it leak out again. Over time it gets worse and worse until the radiator overheats and leaves you stranded with major car repairs.
GREAT LEADERS DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK!
Today in the One Year Playbook we see the Future Temple in Ezekiel 40. God will use adversity to help us. The Lord turns Problems into Opportunities. The Lord is telling the people that this isn't it.
GREAT LEADERS DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK!
God was saying You Will Live Again! All hope is not lost. He was encouraging the people to believe in the Future and Plan of God.
Now we come back to reality where Jeremiah is saying Israel and Judah are like broken cisterns. Just like a radiator they didn't realize there was a leak in their relationship with God until it was too late.
GREAT LEADERS DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK!
Jeremiah 2:13 - For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
The people forgot what God had done for them. The enemy was about to take over and Jeremiah was pleading with the people to turn 180 degrees and follow God. They did not so the Assyrians and Babylonians invaded and destroyed the nation.
In the same way we need to make sure we don't have a "leaky radiator.". So how do we do this? We do a diagnostic check to find out.
GREAT LEADERS DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK!
"Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:"
Psalm 139:23
We hang out with other believers to strengthen and encourage each other.
GREAT LEADERS DO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK!
Just Go!!
Start Fast
Play Hard
Finish Strong
