The Peace of Glory
How to Stop Striving and Start Resting in Purpose
George B. Thomas
Picture this: a king on the run, the desert winds cold against his face, the sound of distant footsteps reminding him he’s still being hunted. Yet, in the darkness, David lies down and whispers, “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for You alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8).
That line has stopped me in my tracks more than once. Because it’s not the prayer of a man who has everything together, it’s the confession of someone who knows he doesn’t. David wasn’t safe in a palace. He wasn’t surrounded by loyal allies or a quiet night. He was surrounded by uncertainty, yet utterly certain about one thing: God was in control.
And that’s where peace lives, not in the absence of chaos, but in the presence of trust.

What You Plant Is What You Lead
In leadership, every thought and action is a seed with the potential to either flourish meaningfully or leave you hollow. The challenge lies in choosing to nurture patience, empathy, and authenticity over ego and shortcuts. True leadership strength is found in surrender, aligning desires with a higher calling, and leading from a place of peace rather than pressure.

Live Prepared
In the high-stakes world of leadership, readiness is crucial, much like a firefighter or pilot. As a faith-driven leader, being prepared means embodying hope even amid challenges. Your greatest influence comes when you reflect Christ's presence during tough times, demonstrating love and compassion through your actions and interactions.
