Hidden in the hands of Moses and Aaron, You led your people like a flock of sheep (Psalm 77, MSG).
God did the leading but He chose to be hidden in the hands of His followers, who by following, became His leaders.
Leaders must be followers of the right thing before their hands can become God's hiding place.
Even then, these leaders are followers still.
The learning is in the following and the bending of that ever-present willfulness that would tell us that we are, in fact, the leader.
It is incredibly humbling to think God might choose human hands from which to lead and in which to hide. It is a staggering thought, really.
At the very least, we lead ourselves. If I am called to lead myself or anyone else, I only want to do it by following the right lead. May our hands welcome God on His terms so every sheep knows His love and grace.
