Scripture Passage: Numbers 27:1-8
Leaders are a Voice for the Voiceless
The five daughters of Zelophehad, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah, were a voice for their late father who could no longer speak for himself. They told Moses, “Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the company of them that gathered themselves together against the Lord in the company of Korah.” They cleared their father’s name. They made it plain he had not been a rebel. He was dead and could not speak to defend himself but they spoke for him.
The lesson here is this; leaders are a voice for the voiceless. Everyone needs to have their voice heard but unfortunately not everyone can make their voice heard. Leaders are not only a voice to the voiceless but leaders know how to make their voice heard. When leaders speak, people pay attention.
Prayer: Father, give me grace to be a voice to the millions of voiceless people in my generation.
