## Resource

In today’s Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 28:15–17 and Scripture’s sobering warning about the abuse of power. God intends authority to protect the vulnerable, yet Solomon compares a wicked ruler to a roaring lion and a ranging bear hunting the defenseless. This lesson explores how greed and lack of understanding transform leadership into oppression, why those entrusted with authority must hate unjust gain, and why Scripture treats the shedding of innocent blood with such severity. Whether the authority is political, spiritual, professional, or within the home, every leader faces the same question: Am I protecting the people God placed under my care, or am I using my position to prey upon them?
