Is there anything more important in a leader than he or she seeking God’s direction?

We’ve all encountered the know-it-all leader, the “submit-or-else” type of leader. But Proverbs 16:5says, “Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord; be assured, he will not go unpunished.” I don’t know about you, but I definitely don’t want to be referred to as an abomination to the Lord.

“Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly. The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips” (Proverbs 16:22-23).
