Romans 13
Dear RTB’ers,
Another election is upon us, less than four weeks away, and Paul’s words in today’s first seven verses should be in every Christian’s mind and in every heart as we honor Paul’s words: For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. (v. 1b) Just now I went back to the reading to look for Paul’s exact words as to praying for our authorities. I was surprised that Paul, who writes “Pray without ceasing” (I Thess. 5:17) “Pray about everything” (Philippians 4:6, edited), did not mention praying for our authorities. However, our church leaders have clearly urged us on in that direction and it’s a worthy practice for all believing Christians.
Blessings!
