I guess this proverb does a good job at explaining modern day politics. When a new president takes office, we see first hand the quality of character his cabinet possesses. If we examine each of the last few presidents, his cabinet members clearly show who the president pays attention to. Politics can be nasty. If we pay close attention, and use discernment, regardless of how good or bad our president is portrayed, it will prove one thing, salvation will never arrive on Air Force One. Even though fallibility runs through us all, a godly man listens to truth. And truth only comes from One Source, God alone. Until a man decides Who/who his first source of reason is, he will always be vulnerable to the deception that surrounds him. We must insulate ourselves with God’s word. It protects us in more ways than we realize.
12 If a ruler pays attention to liars, all his advisers will be wicked.
