Pay, Pray & Obey

"But how can this be God's plan?" This is what My Only Sunshine asked last night when The Referee comforted us by reminding us that the election result was part of God's plan for us. Additionally, The Referee reminded us that as christians we are obligated to respect and honor our leaders.

While we may be fearful about the future of our great nation, our gracious God does not leave us to flounder in that fear. He gives us instructions for how to live under our government, regardless of the kind of government it is. And in comparison, it seems to me that we still have more religious and personal freedoms in The United States of America than most any other country in the world.

Wayne Jackson has said that in relation to our government we are to "pay, pray, and obey".

We will spend time studying the following scriptures in the coming days and weeks. I pray you will find them helpful as well.

• Romans 13:1-7


• Titus 3:1-2


• 1 Peter 2:13-17
