The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in Romans 13:1-2,
"Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
I know when I finally meet the Lord face to face and come to understand so much more about him and all that he does/has done, I am going to be just amazed at how involved he is and has been in my life and the world around me.

Beyond a reminder of my responsibilities before the Lord in the passage above is the recognition of how involved the Lord is in everyday life. As the writer of Hebrews put it in Hebrews 1:3, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word."
Today I worship my Lord who sustains all things! Including, of all things, the authorities in my life.
