Verses Hid in Our Hearts
1 Peter 2:13-14 (NIV) Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.
Lesson Learned
I know that sometimes I complain about my government. It taxes my family too much, this politician didn’t do what I wanted, I’m sick of the president. Yep, I complain a lot. But these verses remind me that this isn’t what God wants me to do. He wants me to submit to them. He wants me to honor them. I may not agree with everything they do, but I should do what is right.
To Ponder
Is there an authority you haven’t been honoring lately? Why not ask God to help you submit to them today?
