We are living in a world that is getting darker with each passing day. When someone holds so much power and influence, especially in areas that directly impact people’s livelihoods, it’s crucial that they lead with wisdom, fairness, and compassion. Unfortunately, many leaders in our world prioritize efficiency, control, and personal ambition over the well-being of others.
Firing people without notice, disrupting industries, and making drastic changes without concern for how it affects everyday workers can feel heartless and unjust. It reminds me of how the Bible warns against the love of money and power over people. Proverbs 22:16 says, “Whoever oppresses the poor to increase his own wealth, or gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.” True leadership, as God shows us, is about serving others, not just making profits or advancing technology at the expense of human dignity.
At the same time, it’s a reminder that we can’t put our trust in human leaders. No matter how much power someone has, they are still just a person, flawed, limited, and ultimately accountable to God. As Psalm 146:3-5 says, “Do not put your trust in princes, in human beings, who cannot save… Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God.”
Even as we see these things unfold, we can pray that God will soften the hearts of leaders, that those affected by these decisions find new opportunities, and that we as believers stay focused on our true source of provision and justice.
