Abraham moved towards the Desert! I believe - from the authenticity of the Holy Scriptures - that every move which Abraham made, he made in the Will of God. This is a part of his life of Faith and Obedience. He was led by the Lord and had a sense of his responsibility as the Father of the Family of Faith. Whether it is the National Church Leaders, or the Local Church Shepherds, they should have a sense of God's Leading for the people whom they serve. The responsibility of leadership is far more than just standing behind a pulpit on Sunday. Any "preacher" can stand behind a pulpit, but not every "preacher" can lead a Church! The people's Prayers for their Shepherds are important Prayers, that the Shepherds would always lead their flocks onwards, into the Will of God step-by-step.
