Proverbs II
By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly. (Proverbs 8:15,16 ESV)
Leadership
In this verse, Wisdom is speaking.
And Wisdom claims to be the number one qualification for good leadership, governance, and ordering society.
When we choose to follow our leaders, remember that. Search for, train up, and BE leaders who are wise. Nothing else matters.
Wisdom is not good economic training, or effective relationship with allies, or excellent public speaking ability. Wisdom is found by asking, “What does GOD say about this?” regarding every issue… no matter how small or significant.
Leaders lead, rulers rule, and sovereigns are sovereign by this, and by this alone. It is a matter, then, of whether any leaders choose to follow Him, or to go their own way and CALL it God’s.
One way is Wisdom. The other is foolish.
