Taking responsibility
"Now, a person who is put in charge as a manager must be faithful." 1 Corinthians 4:2 NLT I
In any great endeavour, you'll face:
(a) naysayers who think it can't be done
(b) road-blockers who place obstacles in your way
(c) a high probability you'll fail before you succeed.
Who wants to endure such things? Winners! It takes courage to leave Egypt, walk through the wilderness wondering, 'Am I making any progress at all?' and stand at the Red Sea, knowing that without a miracle you'll drown, thinking 'Nobody's ever been in this situation before, what if it doesn't work?' Taking responsibility means stepping out in faith when there's no precedent to go by, no logic to stand on, and your friends are questioning your sanity.
The one quality that all successful people have is the ability to accept ultimate responsibility. General Eisenhower was given responsibility for planning the D-Day invasion. Giving the okay was a painful decision, one that he knew would lead to many deaths. Yet if it was successful, it would guarantee victory over the Nazis. In the hours prior to the assault, Eisenhower wrote a press release that he would use in the event of the invasion's failure. It read: 'Our landings have failed ... and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and this place was based on the best information available. The troops, the Air Force and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to this attempt, it is mine alone.'
If you want others to trust you, to give you greater opportunities and resources, to partner with you - then embrace responsibility and practice it faithfully in every area of your life!
