As the leadership of Moses comes to an end, we are reminded of His great failure once again - "Both of you [Moses and Aaron] broke faith in me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold my holiness from among the Israelites." People in spiritual leadership positions ought to understand the awesome responsibility that they have to represent God well at all times. At any moment, we can be called upon to represent God before His people. We must always represent His holiness before the people we shepherd. People who seek leadership positions should do so with fear and trembling before an all-powerful and all-seeing God!
Those who are not in spiritual leadership positions should pray for their leaders often. Satan knows that he can take out a lot of people through the mis-steps of God's leaders. We need to be protected from the Evil One - he is real and active and good at his chosen profession. But our God can allows us to overcame Him through His protection. Please pray for your leaders.
