Day 4, December

Use Your Authority Well

Whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave -- just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many (the price paid to set them free). Matthew 20:26-28

God desires to restore us to our rightful position of authority in Christ. But first, we must learn to respect authority before we are fit to be in authority.

We all have authorities to whom God expects us to submit. Our government, our law officers, and even our merchants have the right to set rules for us to follow. If we are not submitting to God's appointed authority, it will soon be revealed.

Keep a submissive attitude in your heart, and enjoy the authority you have been given to spend time in God's presence today.

**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
