Judges 7:19 Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands. 20The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!”
You may not always understand or agree with the authority figures in your life. You may have a boss who you can't connect with. You may have a church leader who is offensive when he preaches. You may have to pay taxes to government officials you don't trust. Remember that it is God who establishes the authority figures in your life for a reason, and it is a biblical principle to submit to authority. Today, pray for God to pour out His wisdom and compassion to your authority figures. Also pray that you may learn to trust and support these leaders.
