President

President of the United States of America

This is an extension of thoughts shared by Robin Osborne about the President.

Monday, January 5, 2009: Romans 13:1-2

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

What is your mind-set regarding the President of the United States of America and the Administration he heads? God designed power: don’t resist God’s ordination.

Tuesday, January 6, 2009: 1Peter 2:13-14

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

What should you do if you don’t agree with a Presidential order? Submit to the order issued willingly: second guessing is to be kept personal and private.

Wednesday, January 7, 2009: 1Peter 2:17

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

What is the simplest way to honor the President? Always address him by his full title.

Thursday, January 8, 2009: 1Timothy 2:1-2

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

How should you pray if the President acts against Biblical principles? Pray harder!

Friday, January 9, 2009: 1Timothy 2:3-4

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

What should our supplication for knowledge of the truth be? Pray for the President that he should come to the knowledge of the truth. Pray for his advisors.
