Romans 13:1 - 8


1 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.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God:
and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works,
but to the evil.
Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?
do that which is good,
and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good.
But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid;
for he beareth not the sword in vain:
for he is the minister of God,
a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject,
not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also:
for they are God's ministers,
attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues:
tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom;
fear to whom fear;
honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing,
but to love one another:
for he that loveth another 

hath fulfilled the law.


Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

We thank you that we may be your children and
may be led by your hand. Give us patience and faith,
especially when our way on earth seems difficult
and life is full of grief and hardship.
You are light.
You show us the right path.
You go before us in the self-denial and patience taught us
by your Word.
Protect us on all our ways.
May your kingdom grow among us until it can be
plainly seen that you, O God, are truly with us
doing your work and bringing us joy,
even though what we do seems fruitless.
But your work endures.
In your work we rejoice,
and we want to give thanks to you every day.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
