Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways, for the Lord detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his confidence.
— Proverbs 3:31-32

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

God does not like bullies, oppressors, or exploiters. Those who control by intimidation and violence are detestable and an abomination to the Lord. We are not to idolize, praise, or reward those who have risen to power by exploiting others.

My Prayer...

Father and Sovereign Lord, please break the power of the oppressors who persecute and abuse your people.
