“Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the ones who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subject, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience sake.” Romans 13:1-5

Remember the prayer of the righteous can accomplish much (James 5:16). Are you praying for our country and its leaders? Join me in praying the will of God (1 John 5:14-15) for those in authority over us.
