ANSWERABLE TO THE KING
Daniel 1:10
"The chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, 'I fear the lord my king, who has appointed your food and drink. For why should he see your faces looking worse than the young men who are your age? Then you would endanger my head before the king.' "
Daniel was under the authority of the eunuch, who was under the authority of his king. Everyone answers to someone. I need to remember that my superiors do what they do because of pressure from their own bosses, and they risk losing their own positions if the do not obey. As believers, we are answerable to worldly authority, but also to a greater King. We need to obey our worldly superiors, but obedience to our King takes precedence.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: We are people under authority, both worldly and heavenly.
Have an answerable day. Love you.
