Godly leadership matters - Proverbs 28

Proverbs 28:28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase. It is the political season. The leaders are lining up to run for president, the state legislator candidates are filling out their campaign material and the local business manager is deciding if he should take the risk to run for the local village mayor. Leaders want to lead and want to run for pulic office. All across our country we have men and women who have a desire to lead. Some are qualified and some are not - but what does it mean to be qualified. In the above proverb we can see Solomon's version of who is qualified. He simply states that spiritual qualification is the number one concern of any people. Wicked men are not good leaders. When a wicked leader is gone rigtheousness can increase. This political season we need to pray for righteous people to lead us. If not, prepare to hide.
