From the time Moses “struck the rock” instead of speaking to it in faith (Num. 20:8-12) he knew he would never lead Israel into the Promised Land. Instead of being petulant and resentful, he determined to follow God carefully in the transfer of leadership to Joshua. He wanted the best for Israel. These chapters in Deuteronomy record that spiritual nobility.

Leadership is  both privilege and opportunity (with responsibility) for the one chosen as leader. A Godly leader will always put the welfare of those that one leads ahead of one’s own benefit; a leader who fails to do so is corrupt.  We are to pray for our leaders, both godly and corrupt, that we might have peace.
