Psalms 78:70-71 (ESV Strong's)
He chose David his servant
and took him from the sheepfolds;
from following the nursing ewes he brought him
to shepherd Jacob his people,
Israel his inheritance.

Where does God get his leaders?
1. Abraham - a lone man in a small country - Acts 7:2
2. Moses - a shepherd in front of a burning bush who once was raised by a king's daughter - Exodus 1-4
3. Amos - A shepherd - Amos 1:1
4. Peter, James and John - Fishermen - Matthew 4
5. Paul - A Pharisee - Philippians 3:5
6. Zephaniah - A Kings son - Zephaniah 1:1
7. Samuel - A little boy - 1 Samuel 3
What more could be said of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jepthath (these four listed in Hebrews 11) and many others. God doesn't need what our corporations, educational institutions or business and industry and trade unions need. God can and dose us and equip those He wants in leadership for His plan.
