Leading Unethically

I’m sure we can all think of leaders who acted unethically. Many leaders justify their actions by believing that their position places them above ethical constraints. They consciously or unconsciously assume that the same rules do not apply to them. In 1 Sam. 22, Saul does the unthinkable. He orders the execution of God’s priests who unwittingly helped David by providing him with food and a sword (they assumed he was on a mission for Saul when in fact he was fleeing from the king). Saul’s actions should cause us to remember that we are never above God’s standards, no matter how high we climb the ladder of success.
