WHAT GOD SAYS WE DO WHEN LIFE IS UNFAIR Biblical Submission Even When Its Hard

Every day of our lives we make choices. Those choices will often involve a response to an authority God has placed around us. For a moment look at I Peter 2:13 with me: Submit in the New Testament world this word often speaks a soldiers absolute obedience to his superior officer. Romans 13:1 reminds us there is no authority except God. Since He alone is the sovereign ruler of the universe (Ps. 62:11; 103:19; 1 Tim. 6:15), The Lord has placed no less than four different levels of authority on earth: 1) Political: the government over all their citizens; 2) Spiritual: the church over all the believers; 3) Familial: the parents over all their children; and 4) Material: the masters over all their employees.
