When I hear of fallen leaders within our faith, God reminded me of His promises and His covenant. I was chatting with my friend this morning and asked her, “What should we pray for now?”. She said, “Protection for the hearts of the sheep and dependence upon the Lord’s leadership alone.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

First and foremost, God always takes care of His sheep. He is truly the Good Shepherd. He is our Father, Shield, Rescuer and Portion.

I know that most or at least some have been hurt by spiritual leaders in the past. It is sometimes hard to read this passage and think, “Why isn’t God doing something right freakin’ now?!”. Remember, God does His will in His perfect timing. Remember that all leaders (kings, presidents, etc.) are appointed by Him alone.

God is completely Sovereign in all of this. We trust in Him. At the same time, He will take care of you. He will heal your heart. He will make you whole.
