Isaiah 32

Politicians haven't changed since the days of Isaiah. In the first fives verses of this chapter the prophet describes the attitudes and actions of the future leaders. His description implies that the contemporary leaders display the opposite qualities.  The leaders Isaiah knew spoke about the God of Israel claiming to be his friend. But their words and actions insult and righteous all-knowing God who chose to remain their friend. The same can be said of many high profile leaders today. Whether they be civic or church leaders, holding secular or religious offices they all tend to gravitate toward the same selfish model. I believe that if I find myself in the right position without accountability and transparency I too would fall prey to the corrupting and blinding influence of elevated self-worth.
