Romans; 13:1-2
(Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resist the authority resist the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement on themselves.)
Scripture makes one exception to this and that is if obedience to governing authorities would mean disobedience to God. No matter if we have a President, or a King, we are to pray for them and to obey our government. We don't have to agree with them but we are to be submissive.
God has instituted 4 authorities on earth and they are (1) the government over all citizens, (2) the church over all believers, (3) the parents over their children, (4) the masters over the employees. Unfortunately the Government has taken it upon themselves to intrude into the church, the family, and the work place. Do I agree with their policies? 'NO' But I'm am told by God in the Scriptures not to worry. Putting your faith in God will allow you to not worry because God is on control. Nothing is going to happen unless He allows it to happen.
Knowing that God loves you and wants what is best for you, will give you peace of mind. Everything that is going on in the world is leading up to Christ return. It could be today or years from now. All we have to do is be ready for our Saviors return.
Matthew; 24:44
(Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.)
Give your life to Jesus today because we don't know the day or hour of His return.
God Bless You!
