Part of leadership is the knowledge that those who follow will often get uptight. Something will unsettle them and they will be filled with anxiety or fear. Left alone, this could create numerous problems. Things could quickly get out of control.
You may be a pastor whose church is on edge about something. You may be a mom whose children are frightened by the storm raging outside. You may be a leader in a business whose employees are unsettled by changes taking place in the company.
It is the leader's responsibility to speak peace into the situation and calm them down. As a follower of Jesus, the leader must point them to God as the true source of peace and the One who is working all things for the good of those who love Him.
Exodus 14:13-14 (New Living Translation)
"But Moses told the people, 'Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the LORD rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The LORD himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.'"
