Dad's Ramblings -- Obeying God

"But Peter and the other apostles answered and said, 'We ought to obey God rather than men.' "
 
                                                                         Acts 5:29
 
This is not a license to be rebellious. A consistent teaching of Scripture is to submit to and obey those who have authority over us – whether it is children to parents (Ephesians 6:1; Colossians. 3:20); on our jobs (Colossians 3:22); spiritual leaders (Hebrews 13:17); or governmental leaders (I Peter 2:13). However, in those rare times when we are required to do things that violate our consciences and the truth, we must make a choice whether to obey them or be true to God. We must determine to obey God, even if there are negative consequences.
 
Today's Thought: Obedience to God always overrules submission to ungodliness.
 
Have a submitted day. Love you.
