Society seems overwhelmed with people taking the role of God on themselves.
So many things lately have caused us to take a second look at the meaning of authority.
How far can authority go? There are limits, yet many examples recently exist where a person takes the role of God from God.
This is unacceptable to the Lord. Scripture indicates that man judging others and acting on that judgment is questionable. Yet when someone in authority lets their actions be guided by love, they are to be respected and appreciated.
Love should serve as your guide, your gauge for all things.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, our world seems overwhelmed with people trying to be God for their benefit or beliefs. When acting that way, I know they are not God, not of God. If you see me behaving in that manner, please help me realize it before I hurt anyone's feelings or cause them pain. Help me recognize another assuming your role and do my best to help them change their thoughts. This is not an easy topic to address, and as you know, there are so many occurrences where people hurt others physically and emotionally. These situations often cause division and sorrow that change families' lives forever. I believe they are a weapon evil uses against believers to turn them away, which is disgraceful and unacceptable. Please help me do my part in this area to stop the tragedy of people taking on your role. Amen
