Reading: Proverbs 29:1-9 |
Or governor…. Or mayor…. Or any kind of elected leader….
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” (2).
“The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it” (4).
“Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath” (8).
Even though I’m not any kind of political leader, I am in other positions of authority.
Does my leadership bless and assure and secure and protect and direct and rejoice those “under” me?
from Proverbs 29:3
