"A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment, but he who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long life." -- Proverbs 28:16

If it's power you seek, for what do you seek it?  If your desire is to control others, what would you have them do?  If you wish to gain the world, do you wish it enough to stake your soul?  I pray I do not speak of you, but know there are many out there whose appetite for power and control is never satisfied.  We need good leaders in this world, but not leaders who want it for themselves.  Check the powers that be in your circles.  Support those who are wise and use good judgment.

Readings:  Daniel 2:24-3:30; 1 Peter 4:7-5:14; Psalm 119:81-96; Proverbs 28:15-16
