Isaiah 40:10-11
Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.
God Comforts His People
10 Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in power. He will rule with a powerful arm. See, he brings his reward with him as he comes. 11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will carry the lambs in his arms, holding them close to his heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.
When we look for the qualities necessary for a good leader, there is no better place to look than at God Himself. Isaiah describes the all-powerful God as One who has compassion for His people. God is not a divine dictator but rather a gracious Father. Without yielding His power and authority, He pours out His mercy and love. He is a good shepherd who gently guides His flock with greatness and goodness. This is the kind of leader we can trust. This is the kind of leader whom we can willingly surrender control over our lives.
