Proverbs 29 KJV

In this proverbs we see that there is such a thing as Godly stewardship. In the last proverbs we saw how God expects us to be proper stewards of our finances and our hearts. Here we see that God calls us to also be stewards of our flock, the men and women in our relationships. If we expect to lead others we must do it as faithful servants, as shepherds. God gives us respect, and so must we give our people godly respect as well.
Look at how Nehemiah led his people out of Babylon into a destroyed Jerusalem. In a short time Nehemiah lead his flock to rebuild the walls of the city despite fear of other nations. This is faith and strength that over powers fear.
