Is. 10 [The Message]

Too often leaders excuse their faults and see them as insignificant compared to the importance of their leadership contribution. The truth is, God holds them to a higher standard than others. [James 3:1]

The King of Assyria was a proud and boastful man. It is said he had a “stout heart” and “high looks.” The Lord said He would raise His whip against the Assyrian and deliver the people like He did in the Red Sea exodus.

Think of it … can you remember any corrupt leader that did not ultimately meet his demise at God’s hand?

Leaders are to be an example for their constituents. [1 Tim. 4:2]
