As we continue in our four-part series discussing principles of leadership, in this episode, we highlight the importance of Being Prepared. We see how commitment and preparation are closely aligned with one another.
Preparation is the tangible expression of commitment. If you aren't prepared before you make a commitment chances are you won't make it. If you aren't prepared after you make a commitment you probably won't keep it. Our level of preparation often determine the depth and quality of our commitment.
It's always better to be prepared for an opportunity that doesn't happen than to be unprepared for one that does. We'll spend time unpacking a little deeper this principle by seeing how scripture highlights the importance of being prepared in Matthew 25 and Luke 14.
