Kindred,
Some people that are insecure, fearful or lack self confidence look to power to fill the void or deficit inside.
But power is not character, bravery or confidence, neither is it wisdom or creativity.
When a person fill themselves up with power, that person is tripping on a type of grandiose psychosis (power trip) or feeding the beast of hell.
Remove the delusional power trip and you will have the same insecure, fearful or lack of self confidence person, but aggravated into psychosis and abuses in power.
If that person is given power to act on behalf of the people, this weakling so lacking in character, bravery and self confidence, would most likely abuse the power and apply power for power sake in increasingly senseless self grandiosity (from the feeding the insatiable the beast of hell).
Having power to apply powerful insecurities and ignorance to inflict on others in abusive, destructive, depressive or oppressive ways are not the way of the Lord, nor is it wise.
Defend against failings and sins by building good character, facing your fears and developing self-esteem and follow always the way of the Lord in true faith, hope and love.
