A Leader and A Follower

(1 Samuel 14:6-14) Jonathan said to his young armor-bearer, "Come, let's go over to the outpost of those uncircumcised fellows. Perhaps the LORD will act in our behalf. Nothing can hinder the LORD from saving, whether by many or by few."

"Do all that you have in mind," his armor-bearer said. "Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul."

Jonathan said, "Come, then; we will cross over toward the men and let them see us. If they say to us, 'Wait there until we come to you,' we will stay where we are and not go up to them. But if they say, 'Come up to us,' we will climb up, because that will be our sign that the LORD has given them into our hands."

So both of them showed themselves to the Philistine outpost. "Look!" said the Philistines. "The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes they were hiding in." The men of the outpost shouted to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, "Come up to us and we'll teach you a lesson." So Jonathan said to his armor-bearer, "Climb up after me; the LORD has given them into the hand of Israel."

Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. The Philistines fell before Jonathan, and his armor-bearer followed and killed behind him. In that first attack Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed some twenty men in an area of about half an acre.

My new boss is very open-minded. He will ask his staff opinion before he makes some decision. I am happy with his character on this. He did share, some of his staff have different opinion against his. He did asked my opinion on this.

I think bible teach us to follow our appointed leader whatever he want to do as long as not against God's will. Like Jonathan and his armor bearer, Jonathan asked his armor bearer to fight against 20 people with him. The armor bearer definitely know that is not funny to fight 20 people together with his leader alone. But he choose to follow. And they killed all of them.

I think we must follow our leader instruction even though we don't think that is a good idea at all. I believe leader appointed with some reason not by chance. Am I right?
