One of the things most younger people have difficulty with, and I know because I used to be a younger person, is dealing with authority. We tend to think that we have it all figured out and that we don't need anyone telling us, even suggesting to us, what we need to do. Some outgrow this; some never seem to.
As we mature, we begin to realize that people are in authority because GOD has put them there. If we want to do what He wants us to do, we must submit to those GOD has appointed over us. There are few things that show a Christian's true character more than their willingness to submit to authority. I know I have failed in this area numerous times.
Today's word is Titus 3:1, NIV, which reads, "Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good."
There will be numerous times in our lives, especially at work, that we may not agree with those in charge. Yet, I am reminded that they are in charge because GOD has placed them in charge. Being in charge has to have its ups and downs, especially when you have to deal with people such as me.
I am will try to keep in mind that I am to be obedient, and to be ready to do what is right.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
