Everyone should respect you, King of all the nations.
You deserve their respect. ~ Jeremiah 10:7a (ERV)
We must obey God rather than any human authority. ~ Acts 5:29 (NLT)
God, you are certainly the ruler over all the people. You are the one who deserves total respect and faithful obedience. This would be a simple fact if it were not for all those people out there who think that they are you! Or at least they think I should respect them in the same way I respect you. Give me the wisdom to deal with all of these misguided and sinful voices. And save me from becoming one of them. Sometimes I forget who I am. It's easy to slip into thinking that everyone should bow to me and my opinions. But that's not going to happen today. I'm going to focus on serving you, King Jesus -- and you alone. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
