Political Application:
The navy aviator invites Obama to 10 debates but Obama will only submit to 5. McCain is being pictured in the media as a worn out old guy. Why can't Obama match his speed and depth? Proverbs councils rulers, kings, and people in power frequently (28:2-3,12,15-16,28; 29:2,4,12,14,26) because God cares about the way truth and justice are worked out. God loves everyone equally. But God gave us all free will if we are fortunate enough to live in a government having citizens who can still vote. God holds us accountable every time we vote for these reasons. If we study our history we learn sadly how too many nations got wealthy and too busy to care for the way polls were managed. If we vote for folks based on how much they are going to pay us in benefits we too often loose our rights in a couple of generations. Soon “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” is only for the elite who can still afford to live like that. The elite always turns out to be govt employees after they close business after business.
Religious application:
If you tell your church some basic Evangelical Truth and they reply if you ever come back make sure our Security Guard is their to protect us from you. My church said they didn’t need me anymore because they wanted to “update” their look while seeking younger new members. After showing them where James’ forbids hiring or firing people in church because they are liked as favorites or not liked they replied we have been hired to manage these things and this is how “God is leading” me to do my work ~ trust me.
General Application:
The guilty consciences of the wicked cause them to run from imagined pursuers (28:1). Knowing they have done wrong, they suspect they are being chased by lawmen. By contrast the righteous are as bold (i.e., self-confident; cf. "confidence" in 31:11) as a young lion. God gives them courage; they have no fear of reprisal from wrongdoing.[1]

I agree brother, we all need to accept the truth of JESUS CHRIST instead of picking and choosing which truth suits us. Unfortunately when I come under attack I often have my flesh rather than JESUS at the fore front. We all need to grow in the grace of JESUS CHRIST even for our leaders who are decieved and broken from evil influences of this world. If we can demonstrate love even under persecution I think we have honored the LORD. We need to remeber who the puppeteer is he uses thier sin and brokeness as a weapon against GODs people, in the end satan is responsible but the puppet will answer to GOD alone for his/her part. Spiritually we have an enemy, and he will stop at nothing to thwart our efforts to please GOD with pure undefiled religion. and remeber humen kai ego archieroose sundoulos! be blessed.
