Good morning! How are we faithing? Within our church body God has put people in charge. Whether it's the Pastor or the Sunday school teacher, we submit to them. It is perfectly acceptable to ask questions and even go toe to toe in private but ultimately our superiors or boss if you will, has the final authority. Of course if we are asked to perform tasks that are contrary to biblical teachings, it is our duty to refuse. Our Godly convictions taught by the Holy Spirit will let you know when you are up against something like that. The people God has put in charge, the Word says all authority is given by God, are there for a reason and whether we agree or not doesn't matter. It is better that we look for lessons when in this position when we are in charge. Learning what not to do is also important. I don't always agree with my Bosses but they are in charge. The people that I lead submit to me and I must be sure to hear them, consider all things and make the best choice with prayer and supplication. Our attitudes towards our leaders goes along way in showing God's love and living according to God's principles mapped out in the Word. Just give this some thought today when you run up against a leader that just steps all over your nerves...

Hebrews 13:16-19
Obey your leaders, and submit to them; for they keep watch over your souls, as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.
Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things. And I urge you all the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
NAS

1 Thessalonians 5:12-14
But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
NAS

1 Peter 5:5
You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
NAS

James 4:7
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
  Thank you for your leadership in our lives. Lord we ask for vision and wisdom to see lessons taught by our days. Help us show grace and mercy to our subordinates and help us graciously submit to our leaders. Lord we understand they are placed in the positions they are so help us support and esteem when appropriate. Help us recognize their needs as the leader. Let us not cause pain but be a beacon so they may seek you. We lift up those who are ill today. Grant a healing , in Jesus name, amen
