Holy Discontent
I was watching a DVD today of one of my favorite leaders/pastors Bill Hybels and he was talking about leading out of holy discontent. When something (of an injustice) so moves you that you can't help but take action. His examples were David fighting Goliath, Moses killing an Egyptian, and Popeye standing up for Olive Oil. These guys got so upset at the injustice they were watching that leading out and taking action overtook their lives. I am not sure if I have been moved by holy discontent, but I know that God wants leadership out of me. Leadership has always been a part of my life, from watching my Dad lead army soldiers, to leading my own little band of brothers as a tenderfoot scout. There is something that is so inspiring about watching someone lead well; it is really hard to explain. There is also something that moves in my spirit about seeing something led poorly. Maybe that is where my holy discontent happens. When I see leadership that can be done better. I am not sure yet though. But thinking of how holy discontent has impacted my life will be an intersting search.
