Romans 13: 1-7
This reading in Romans was my devotion for this morning (written Mar 4, 2025). I was a little surprised to read it, especially in light of what is going on in our political landscape at this time. With the president’s address tonight, I thought I would share a couple of thoughts on this.
First, Paul was familiar with Roman authority and their prisons. We know he had been arrested prior to this letter to Rome. Yet, here he is talking about being subject to government authorities. Read it when you get a chance, it outlines why it is our responsibility to support our government.
Second, I do not always agree with the direction of a president’s choosing. We have had some very corrupt ones in the past and probably will in the future. BUT, as Christians – we are to pray for our president and support them.
My hope is that we will all pray and support and guide our leaders. We will not always agree with them, but we have faith that God will work through them! If we as Christians can display this love and respect, maybe the world will take notice and we will see a change in our political differences!!!
Read and study this a little – it will be eye opening…
