AUTHORITY

Ro 13:1 Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Ro 13:2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

Wow, this one is a tough one for me! I have a really hard time following rules that make 0 sense to me. Or submitting to someone that I have 0 respect for. But the bottom line is that their position was signed off on by God. Nothing happens without the Father signing off on it. A friend of mine and I have started a new thing of praying every Thursday for leaders of all positions. Leaders have the ability to make the greatest influences. They need to be prayed for instead of bashed. God uses even the bad for the greater good of all of us (ROM 8:28). We need to trust that He put them in their positions for a reason.
