Can You Handle the Glory?

What comes to mind when you hear the word glory? For me, money, fame, and God.
If you are one being propelled to a higher level of leadership, which means influencing others, how you handle these components are key to your success or failure.
When you are just a regular Joe Little, there is little expectation. As your life reveals you are about do great things. With that authority comes responsibility. As you excel, the pressure will mount as you mount for greater purpose. You will now have to represent. Some will expect you to be and do as they perceive you, but the end your character must remain true to display you. As money comes what will you do with it? As the spotlight hits your private and public life, what will the people see?
Will you remain humble and give God the glory, or boast of your own ability and qualifications. Will all this power change you? When you have a platform to speak and others are following you, where will you take them? So many people started off right and ended wrong. Celebrities who were preachers, politicians, musicians, all who have been given a stage, fall from moral or character flaws.
God needs leaders who loves people as much as themselves. Leaders who will do all they can to help make the world a better place. No one can live or do it alone. God shares His glory by giving us His DNA to share with the world. His glory is a gift to us so we can all remain humble and be a blessing.
