Provebs29:4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
We see first in this verse that a leader who uses good judgement in the decisions he makes for his people will have a healthy country with people who respect him for the job he is doing. The second part of this verse refers to a leader who accepts bribes for his own selfishness and could care less for the people who put him in office. This person will not stay in long because he is not doing what he should but just looking out for himself. If we believe the leaders that we have are doing the job they should we need to continually pray for them and if they are not we need to pray for them to but also put new people in their when the time comes.
