Established By God

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 

This week we cast our votes in the mid-term elections.

Our family mailed in our ballots a few weeks ago.

This verse reminds me that God has established our governing authorities.

And He calls us to be subject to them, even when we disagree with them.

He also calls us to cast our vote to elect the people we pray will do a good job.

God is in control, not us.

And I am very thankful for the opportunities He gives us in this country.
