On this President's Day, I encourage you all to read Romans 13:1-6.
My generation is growing up in a society where we are suspicious and critical of the government. Maybe it's been that way for decades, but all the same, it shouldn't sit right with us. The government is made up of fallen human beings like you and me. They will make mistakes. They will disagree with you. Sometimes, they do terrible things. Often times, our response is a rude joke about them. In case you were wondering, that is the wrong response. Insults never helped a situation. What will, then?
We must pray for our leaders. Pray that God will grant them wisdom and discernment to direct our country and they will maintain their integrity. We must also pray that we as a people would be forgiving and trust that God is bigger than any president or senator.
So the next time you are frustrated with the leaders of our country, don't post it on Facebook. Instead, pray that God will work through our government and read Romans 13:1-6.
The correct reference is Romans 13:1-6, not 12:1-6. Enjoyed this post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful blog you have here.
ReplyDeleteVery true--but if our founding fathers had just kept quiet we would never have the freedom that you have right now to express your thoughts...PLUS the apostles and Jesus Christ never kept quiet if it was unbiblical and unfortunately our government is running ramped with lies, deceit, and crookery....SO I think there is a balance...God certainly calls for us to pray, but He also calls for us to be of action (biblical) as well....otherwise what is the point of Christianity? The apostles should have just sat at home and prayed instead of going out to speak the truth.
