First 15 Devotions

Thursday

Romans 13:6 And for this reason you pay taxes, since the authorities are God's servants, continually attending to these tasks.

There seems to be a lot of unrest in regards to the results of Tuesday's election. Two days later the results seem to hang in the balance, and there is uncertainty regarding whom our elected officials will be. This verse reminds us, that elected authorities are put in place ultimately for the purposes of God. We can therefore place our trust in God, realizing that no matter how it turns out, HE IS STILL IN CONTROL!

Suggested prayer thought: God help me to trust in your sovereignty over nations and governments. Help me not to be anxious about the outcome knowing that you are in control. May your will be done, In Jesus name, AMEN.
