I get tired at the effort it takes to build company culture. Sometimes I feel alone and overwhelmed with how much discipline and consistency it takes.

If we ignore problems, we will compromise our values. If we don’t take care of the foundations, the storms will take us out, like in Proverbs 28:2 “when there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.”

Few people in leadership positions understand how to build a solid foundation. That’s why God warns us not to quickly promote people into leadership.

This verse reminds me not to be afraid when I am. If I’ve allowed evil or compromise in my life, I will fall. If I’m clean inside, God will fight for me.
