Proverbs 24:21 My son, fear the Lord and the king; Do not associate with those given to change;

When our bibles tell us to fear God it means we ought to love Him, look up to Him, have faith in Him, submit to Him and worship Him.

Kings and Queens are in power because God allows them to rule over countries. It does not necessarily mean God has chosen them or put them in power.

People who continually change their minds or speech are very hard to follow and believe in; God instructs us to avoid such people as they continue to cause chaos and division.

Leaders who continually change their minds are very hard to trust, obey and follow; God does not change His mind!

Ephesians 5:21 submitting to one another in the fear of God.

Have you ever thought about why you obey some people and not other people? God gives us clear instruction about how we should be living with other people, loving them and treating them well.

Submitting to one another also means submitting to parents and guardians; God wants us to live in peace whilst here on earth.

This does not mean we have to believe everything our church leaders say to us, nor that we have to obey everything they say.

What is does mean is taking into consideration what they are saying and following God’s will and instructions in your life; don’t forget they probably know the bible more than you do!

James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

We need to remember the things we have whilst here on earth can always be attributed to God. So we should be content with all God allows into our lives.

It is not ours to question why we should have more or less that other people. It is not ours to question why things can go wrong – they just do.

One thing we can do though is to make sure we do not have anything to do with the evil one; by excluding him from our lives we can learn to grow with God and with His people around us.

Once we make a stand against evil with God on our side we can be sure evil will flee from our lives!
