Proverbs 28:16 KJV -The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hath covetousness shall prolong his days.

Summary: A leader lacking wisdom will harshly oppress his people, while a leader who despises greed will live a long and prosperous life.

Prayer: Heavenly father it seems at times our leaders don't have the wisdom to lead, they fall short and resort to pleasing themselves other than doing what's right. We pray today that you will allow them to have a sensible way of thinking that will benefit their people and themselves all the days of their lives. Amen.
