DAD'S RAMBLINGS – God's Ministers
Romans 13:3-4
"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. For he is God's minister to you for good. If you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minster, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil."
I do not often think of ruling authorities as God's minister to me. But they are because they help keep evil from taking control, unless they themselves are corrupt. I can sleep easier at night knowing that there are police to help keep me from harm. If there are no police, looting and other evils run rampant. We live in peace when we know that God's ministers are there to control the bad guys.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The authorities are God's ministers to help keep us safe so we can live in peace.
Have a thankful day. Love you.
