Some people have a problem with authority. They chafe under it. They can’t stand some bossy person ordering them around, demanding that they do this or that. It can be hard to be under authority.
We’re all under authority in a variety of ways: police, government officials, parents, teachers, employers, etc. Some of it is not as hard to endure as others. But all authority comes from God. And God’s authority is not hard to endure. As a matter of fact, God’s authority is always used for our good. God’s authority is always exercised in love for us. Satan and our own evil desires will try to make God’s authority appear as if it is harsh and difficult to endure. It’s all deception.
Living under God’s authority is living under his love and care and protection for us.
Thanks, Lord, for your gracious authority in our lives.
