Scripture Passage: Genesis 14:1-4
When a Leader is a Task Master the People Rebel
A leader is not a taskmaster. A leader is a servant of the people. A leader gives his time and resources to better the lives of the people. A task master however is different; he takes from the people their time and resources to better his life while they are impoverished. Chedorlaomer was not a leader but a taskmaster. The people served him for twelve years out of compulsion but in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.
The lesson here is this; the leader who behaves like a taskmaster can always expect rebellion from his followers.
Prayer: Father, help me to see the difference between a leader and a taskmaster and give me grace to be the former.
