Proverbs 28:16 A ruler who lacks understanding is a great oppressor, But he who hates covetousness will prolong his days.

We may look at some of the world leaders and wonder how they can be so evil or such great oppressors; we then blame various things like their lack of judgment or greed. But what about us?

Each one of us are leaders in one way or another because others look at us and may want to copy what we do. That gives us responsibility. If we lack understanding, or show greed, or whatever, then we are giving that example to others to follow.

Instead of looking at the world leaders we don’t like, let us look at our own example toward others and improve that first of all.
