Be A Godly Example

1 Peter 2:13-14

“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.”

This means as citizens, we must submit to mans laws, “Give unto Caesar the things which are Caesars” but as Christians we are not to break God’s laws,“ and to God the things that are God’s.” (Matthew 22:21)

We are to walk through this life in purity and humility as much as humanly possible. Not whining, complaining, sniveling or grumbling but submitting, obeying, and being a Godly example.

Be thankful for that job (and anything else you are blessed with) especially to those who are watching and would see you fail. Take the higher ground for His sake and yours and be that Godly example.

Lord help us all to be more positive and less negative as we walk through this life even when we do not agree with those placed in positions over us. Amen.

The Truth

“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.” (Romans 13:1)
