Obeying God rather than human authorities

I praise and honor God Most High. He lives forever, and his kingdom will never end. ~ Daniel 4:34 (CEV)

We must obey God rather than any human authority. ~ Acts 5:29 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
Our allegiance is first and foremost to God.
PRAYER:
Almighty God, thank you for being in charge. I acknowledge, though, that I'm under a lot of pressure to view other authorities as supreme -- family, friends, government, popular figures... Forgive me for giving in to follow them rather than you. Help me to stand up to the kings of our day as Daniel and the apostles stood up to the authorities of their day. It's all about obeying you. That's my motto for life. Amen.
