Respecting Authority!

         Hello, friend!  Politicians, Kings, Rulers, Preachers, Teachers, Police Officers, and Parents... What do they all have in common, and what do they have to do with me?  We are all under their AUTHORITY. Who establishes authority and why? In Romans 13:1, we know that all authority, even now, is chosen by God!  What about the "bad" ones?  That doesn't seem right... we will never fully understand why God allows or does things the way that He does, this side of Heaven, but we need to trust Him...and respect authority. God is the maker and sustainer of Heaven and Earth.  He is in charge. 

         The Bible is the Ultimate Authority, and He holds all things together. Colossians 1:17... King David had to learn to respect the authority of King Saul, even when he didn't deserve it. We need to ask God to help us trust Him more. The Bible will help us to see God's promises more clearly.  Keep seeking God, read your Bible- on your own.  He will help you to trust Him and respect the authority in your life!  I am praying for you!
