The Weather Channel's Executive Producer - #5812
So when we're watching the weather on TV, we're watching the hand of God. He's making weather that will accomplish His purposes, to change plans, to direct our lives, to get people's attention, to chastise where necessary, sometimes to call people home, to protect us from making mistakes.

Mess Prevention - #5796
In 2 Chronicles 18:4 , King Jehoshaphat gave King Ahab this advice before he went running off into battle: "First, seek the counsel of the Lord." King Ahab didn't, and he died in that battle. You can avoid a lot of problems and a lot of pain if you'll instinctively check with heaven first. Call before you dig.

Filled With the Good Stuff - #5791
Obedience isn't just agreeing with what God wants - it's doing it. And until God fills you with the knowledge of His will on this matter, don't move. When He does fill your heart, don't wait. By the way, don't forget that the unfolding of God's will is usually just the next step, not the whole plan. See, that will keep you close to Him day by day, waiting to see the next step.

Standing Against The Storm - #5779
You have the same God Hezekiah did, and He is Lord over this seemingly unstoppable storm. It's time for you to do what those Native American young people did last summer; get on your knees and you stand against that storm in Jesus' name. Do a Hezekiah - spread the threat out before your Lord. When you pray, don't focus on the threat, but like King Hezekiah, focus on the greatness and the total sovereignty of the God in whom you are trusting and unleash His authority on that storm!

Accountability - a Christian perspective
Christians who presume to lead must first be aware that they will be held to a higher standard of accountability than their non-leading brothers and sister.
http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%203:1&version=NIV

"Lead" in the Bible: Romans 12:8
Some in the church are called to be leaders, just as others are called to be encouragers or ministry supporters. Whatever the role you're called to, pursue it diligently and earnestly.
http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:8&version=NIV

Teachers in the Bible: James 3:1-2
James' cautionary words to would-be leaders in this passage warn them that the role of spiritual and church leader is not something that most believers are cut out to do. A leadership position requires real maturity in the faith, and a willingness to accept the increased responsibilities that comes with leadership.
http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%203:1-2&version=NIV

Leaders in the Bible: Hebrews 13:17
We're told to respect those in leadership positions over us, doing our best to make their tasks easier and not needlessly difficult. They're accountable to God for their leadership, so we shouldn't make their job harder than it needs to be.
http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2013:17&version=NIV

"Deacon" in the Bible: 1 Timothy 3:8-10
Paul sets high standards for those who serve in leadership roles in the church. Here, he lays out the moral requirements for the position of deacon in the church. Deacons must be righteous and blameless in their everyday lives.
