Don’t Waste Time - The One Year Mini for Leaders

When Saul returned to his home . . . a group of men whose hearts God had touched went with him. But there were some scoundrels who complained, “How can this man save us?” And they scorned him and refused to bring him gifts. But Saul ignored them. 1 Samuel 10:26-27

Some people in your circle of influence are draining your organization of its vitality.

They are wasting your time and casting doubt on your decisions.

They are scoundrels and complainers who constantly question your motives and hamper your ability to lead.

Here’s some good news: You have God’s permission to ignore them.

At this point in his life, Saul was walking with God. He had a group of godly advisors as he began his reign as Israel’s first king.

There is no evidence that God was upset with Saul for ignoring the people who scorned him and refused to honor his leadership. Paying attention to such people eventually caused him a lot of grief.

You know who these people are, so steer clear of them.

Not every voice is worth listening to. Don’t let scoundrels waste your time.
