I've posted a few threads with articles regarding certain elected officials. Some responses may be one of support while another may be one of disagreement. As I've said, it's not the person I dislike. It's their policies. So, I decided to do a keyword search on biblegateway.com and found this:
Romans 13:1-3...
1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.
I'm certainly not above having things put into perspective, which it was nice to be reminded of God's place in politics. Again, while I may not agree with the policies of an elected official, God ultimately has His hand in everything, even in politics (as much as the political system tries to edge Him out completely). So, I suppose I (as well as the rest of us should do) will keep on praying for God's direction and will for the people. Just my thoughts...
