Day 8 – David

“This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47Then all this assembly shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” 1 Samuel 17:46-47 NKJV

The way of David is leadership. David types, with their formidable sense of destiny and intense passion, can inspire others to action, instilling them with confidence like David instilled in others upon defeating Goliath. David types are leaders at whatever they do, from the boardroom to the schoolyard to the athletic field. Any type can lead when it comes to money, but David types have a distinct ability to see the big picture. They possess a clear sense of why something is worth pursuing, and they align resources toward action.

In leadership roles, David types elicit followers because their goals are inspirational and inclusive; they cast a clear vision and welcome others to pursue it with them. Their financial visions and goals inspire followership and financial engagement because they appeal to a shared interest, not simply to a vision or goal that improves the leader’s life alone.

David types are inclined to lead toward the future showing the way to God. Like David, whose life reveals that he possessed a strong sense of destiny, David types resist satisfaction with situations as they are, they explore and invent possibilities for the financial well-being of the church. They’re blue-sky, big-time visionaries who spend far more time imagining what’s next than focusing on what’s happening right now. They tend to be singularly focused, and Heaven driven.

Prayer: Father, thank You for David types and their strong leadership not only when it comes to finances, but also to lead others to You with inspirational bravery. Please guide them to use their natural leadership characteristics to lead for the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.
