Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel: – 1 Chronicles 17:7
Sheep are stupid.
Sheep are also rebellious.
Sheep are excellent at developing leadership qualities in those who commit to caring for them.
How you take care of the sheep you’re following is how you’ll take care of the people who will follow you.
