Scripture
Zech. 11:17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who deserts the flock...
Observation
There are leaders who abandon the people they are called to protect. It could be physically, emotionally or spiritually.
Application
I am a very loyal person. I plan to be here at Father's House until God is done with me. I have no problem ever abandoning this group physically. My weakness would be the temptation to leave emotionally or spiritually. Discouragement, frustration or stress can cause me to go AWOL. That could be as bad as leaving physically. I must look to God as my strength and source. He will never leave me or forsake me. Through His power I can minister with loyalty in all aspects of life.
Prayer
God forgive me of being emotionally or spiritually absent at times. Help me keep my eyes only on you for my strength. Allow me to lead with full integrity this group of people you have blessed me with.

Thank you all for your prayers for my father. He came through the surgery with flying colors.
