This reflection challenges me that the LORD Himself exercises flexibility in His shepherd leading. The LORD leads with tenderness, nahal. This brings the flock much needed rest and refreshment. This raises a profound question when I am weary, my soul is thin and hollow and I am irritable and cranky: am I following the LORD? Am I submitted to his nahal leadership that brings refreshment? The Lord leads through “straightforward guidance�: nakhah.The Sovereign LORD as Leader-Shepherd can also be directional and impose his will: nahag.
The wise leader will not express leadership through one style or approach but also adopt fluidity in relating to followers.
