We are meant to love each other and need to set examples in the Body, in showing respect for and, "submitting to one another, in fear of the Messiah" (Rom. 12:10, 13:7, Eph. 5:21). Yet, we must understand that obeying God and placing Him first, before anyone else, is necessary, so we will always remain in right standing with God; for those holding positions, even at a place of worship or in government, are sometimes influenced by their interests, which could be against our faith as Christians (Matt. 6:33). Sometimes the Truth doesn't look good for those who we remind of it, but they can't stop it from continuing (Matt. 27:24-26)
Therefore, we must understand that it's always right to listen to God and live in the fulfillment of His Word by obeying Him, even when it seems difficult in the world or us to do so, for He's our Creator, and we are nothing without Him (Acts 4:19).
PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, and Creator of all things, for making me humble to live in obedience to Your Word, as I stay committed to putting You above my desires and every declaration standing against my faith. Please help me to live continuously in obedience to Your will, no matter the oppression of the wicked, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.
From Acts 5:29
