Deuteronomy 28:13 (KJV)
And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

It seems fairly universal to understand the head as one of leadership and dignity and the tail as one of lower station.

It is a blessing to be a leader. There is responsibility and burden associated with leadership and authority but also blessing. The Christian must not shy away from responsibility. It is appropriate and right for us to accept our standing and give honor to those above us. It is also completely appropriate for us to

• Recognize whatever position of leadership we have been given
• Accept that position wholeheartedly and
• Fulfill it fervently 

It is neither spiritual nor a sign of genuine humility to shrink from it.
