Authority

10/26/2015

0 Comments

 
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." -Romans 13:1 (NIV)
Authority and our response to authority can be a difficult subject.  There are many times when we may disagree with the government, with our boss, or even with church leadership, but our response needs to be rooted in an understanding of God's direction for our lives.  We need to know when to be subject to authority and when to resist it!

When we come to difficult decisions about how to respond to authority, we need to prayerfully consider what God wants in our lives.  God has established the authorities we experience on earth for His purpose.  We may not understand that purpose when living or dealing with the situations in the present, but we can trust that God has a plan.  Through talking to God in prayer and listening to His will in our lives, we can know how to react to authority to further His plan.

Trust God's authority when responding to earthly authority!

Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your authority in my life.  Help me to know how You want me to respond to earthly authority so Your glory can shine through my words and actions.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
