Scripture:
Romans 13: 3-4 "For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil."
Observation:
God surely have set rules and laws in this world for us as fellow Christian to abide by his rules. God wants us to live in his authority or by this righteousness. God wants to be a good citizen, who follow the rules of paying our dues and respecting and loving others. We should always fear, not literally but we should fear the judgement upon us for living unlawful life. God wants our day to day to be not just routine, but live with this obligation of fulfilling his law and living closer toward his laws. Meaning seeking God daily, don't let our daily life consume us at the end of the day, but spare the time to share intimate time with God. That is what he wants. God will be and is always fair, God will repay to those who live a crook it life from God's law. For citizen breaking his law will be judged and repaid. I think that is what he is saying in here that we should live in God focus life daily, and work extremely hard to live God centric life according his laws and share the love he unconditional shower us with others.
Application:
These days I have this desire to forgive and prayer for those who have done so much harm to me individually or to my direct family. I want to shower them with love rather than hate or anger. God is definitely stirring my heart in the right direction, and I need to continue to accept the tugging and molding he is doing. Not fear the change and accept the change, for God is leading me near to him and his righteous way of living my life. He is definitely sorting through my life, he is doing massive spring clean up. It is up to me to live righteous and abiding citizen of God.
Prayer:
Father give me to strength of discipline for your regulation and to live in your righteous way. Father God, continue to stir my heart and continue to mold my heart to make me a servant of your righteousness. Father you unconditional love is endless, help me to provide that love to my enemies and pray for those who are in pain and lost. Father I need discipline to lead my life so that it is you my Savior who is priority before anything else, Father this conviction to find you, Father God, help and disciple in the direction you may see. Father thank you for your love and blessing and I love you Father, thank you for the cross and nails on your hand and feet. In your amazing and precious name Amen.
