Proverbs 31

It took me about 3 minutes to read this collection of wise sayings. Most of the time that I've read this chapter I have focused my attention on those verses that portray a godly woman. But the first 9 verses speak of the qualities of a godly leader. King Lemuel's wise mother passed on to him three expressions of righteousness that a leader seeking God' approval will develop and display.
1 - don't get caught up in shallow, meaningless, short-term relations. A godly leader will find a spouce who is fixed on God.
2 - don't get consumed with drinking and drunkenness. Doing so results in  poor judgements.
3 - be the voice for the voiceless, and pursue justice for the disadvantaged. This preceedes from the life of a ruler engaged in the life of those who follow.
