I hope to be like a shepherd with the smell of the sheep, as Pops Francis advised. No one trusts a person who thinks they are better than the common sheep. God does extraordinary things through ordinary circumstances and ordinary people. The reality of His invisible presence is made available to us as we trust Him.
David’s ordinary and common upbringing trained him to be a hard worker who took care of those under his responsibility. His integrity drifted into an arrogant blindness at times, but over all, he lived up to the phrase ‘a heart after God.’ As Nicky states, love and leadership go hand in hand, as demonstrated by Paul. Wouldn’t it have a thrilling experience to accompany Paul or Elisha? Elisha had so many intense experiences of prayer, compassion, yet confrontation with resistance.
