Considering the massive challenges facing pastors, we can appreciate what the Apostle Paul said:

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13
And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

We also read in the Scripture:

Hebrews 13:17
Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.


The way leaders are protected and undergirded is illustrated in the life of David:

1 Chronicles 12:16-18, 21-22
Then some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold. 17 And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, "If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look and bring judgment." 18 Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, chief of the captains, and he said: "We are yours, O David; We are on your side, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to your helpers! For your God helps you." So David received them, and made them captains of the troop.

21 And they helped David against the bands of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and they were captains in the army. 22 For at that time they came to David day by day to help him, until it was a great army, like the army of God.


Just like in days of old with David, Pastors today need people:
* Who come to them in peace.
* Who come to help them.
* With whom they can truly unite.
* Whose heart is for the success of the vision that God has given the Pastor.
* Who will become a great army, working for a common cause.
