Proverbs 25:3
"As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable"
This is a very interesting proverb about leadership. It suggests that no one can know for certain what the soul of the leader will do for the soul is unsearchable. It is not predictable.
It could also suggest that any leader is capable of that which is shocking and unexpected – both for good and for bad. This is an interesting proverb about the depth of a person and especially the depth of a leader. We can believe we will know what a leader will say or do, but it is not a sure thing until we actually ask them. This suggests that there is much more than meets the eye when we are watching a leader lead. So often we buttonhole people whom we know at work or at church into a particular type of person and do not let them be the whole of the person that they really are.
Just as we have had astronomers searching and mapping the heavens, so we need to realize that there is much more to a leader than what meets the eye. Let them be more and try them in new directions. It may surprise you.
Until tomorrow,
