All Authority Is From God

 

Today's verse is Jeremiah 27:5

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.

All that have power, that exercise power, do so at the suffrage of God, and God himself as put them there, in that place for a purpose, according to his Wisdom, and that purpose will be carried out till it is done. If that leader has exercised that authority in righteousness, he will be rewarded, but if not, God will remove him in due course. This is not our responsibility, other than what the responsibilities of a citizen might be. Therefore, do not fear an evil ruler over God, and rejoice if you have a righteous one, but in all cases give honor to whom honor is due, and above all trust and fear God, and as others have power, so do we that serve the Most High faithfully, and will be likewise rewarded in due course. Selah [Think on This.] Amen.

To God be the Glory
