Proverbs 25

You’ll notice in this final section that many of the Proverbs are directed toward kings and those who dealt with kings.  Though we have no direct contact with kings, many of us are leaders and work for leaders.  When you see the word king, replace it with your name or the name of a leader in your life.

Pray for our local and national leaders.  Pray that the wicked will be removed from their presence and that their leadership will be established in righteousness (v.6-7).

Have you ever hired clouds and winds without rain?  It’s disappointing every time.  The wise leader makes sure the cloud rains before they employ them (v.14).

Verse 15 gives me a lot of hope.  Even the most jaded leaders can be persuaded if we are patient (v.15).

Good advise for Thanksgiving (v.16-17)!
