The Book of
Proverbs may seem like just a random collection of wise sayings.
But it's actually an instruction manual from a king to his son... to show him how to rule well by choosing to listen to lady wisdom rather than lady folly.
This should help us see that politics is not an unspiritual 'dirty business' to
be avoided...
... rather, it's a part of life in God's world that involves ruling skillfully and faithfully... and we should be thoughtfully involved in the process.
This understanding of Proverbs should guide us, too, as we vote...
For example... it should cause us to be wary of politicians who are like the proverbial adulterous woman who makes seductive promises but whose path leads to destruction.
