Richard

 The name Richard means 'powerful and rich ruler '.  A ruler is one that exercises authority within a limited sphere or is an acknowledged leader.   A ruler is also one who is a protector or guardian, that gives aid to those who are in need and is one who is know to have firm character.

    In his little part of the universe Richard is a man with whom it would be well advised to give consideration, especially when he is giving advice.  Some may view him as being controlling or trying to direct other people's lives. But in reality, if acting under the leadership of the Lord, Richard tries to bring order in what is sometimes confusing situations.

    He has a wealth of wisdom, discernment and knowledge that is garnered from above.  His power and influence is not of his own and he would be wise to remember that and so too the people with which he comes into contact. 

Richard did not set himself up as a ruler, the Lord did. But to be a good and wise ruler, Richard has to exercise humility before God and man.  In this Richard becomes one who can be of great comfort and strength.

Pro 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. . .
