Good Leader .. Sound Leadership

I have been really thinking about this verse this AM from my daily reading....... even kept on meditating on it while cooking pancakes for the kids.

Love and truth form a good leader; sound leadership is founded on loving integrity.
Proverbs 20:28 (MSG)

Another version says it like this:

Rulers are protected by God's mercy and loyalty, but they must be merciful for their kingdoms to last.
Proverbs 20:28 (CEV)

And then earlier in the passage:

Leaders who know their business and care keep a sharp eye out for the shoddy and cheap, Proverbs 20:8 (MSG)

When rulers decide cases, they weigh the evidence.
Proverbs 20:8 (CEV)

Hmmmm!!!!
