Proverbs 16

Verse 32 of this chapter uncovers the weakness found in many of histories noteworthy leaders. These people who led millions often fell because they lacked self discipline. They may have over thrown kingdoms and had cities named in their honor but at their end they were humiliated because they would not restrain themselves. Even without scripture we should know that a disciplined life is a critical part of stability. Yet outside of scripture there is no enduring framework that we can use to constrain our sinful passions. Though I have not even ruled a household, let alone a city, Solomon spoke from his own experience. His words are trustworthy.
