1 Peter 2:12-14 (NIV)

Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.

This scripture has been in my head for a couple of hours now already, due to an incident that happened at the work place yesterday, but luckily I was not involved in the incident.

The message here is pretty clear, in my opinion, that whether you agree with your boss or not, they are appointed as an authority over you, and therefore you, as a Christian, must submit yourself to that authority.

The world is challenging us as people in these days, to challenge authority, and unfortunately a lot of Christians fall prey to this method of Satan to try and create doubt with us, and I must say, that he is extremely successful in using this tool in creating doubt.

I have for a very long time fell prey to this in my life, only to not get what I want from my job, and basically be extremely unhappy with my life. A couple of months ago, I read this scripture again, and suddenly it jumped out at me, at what I need to do, in order to get peace with my job and my life.

Since then, God has blessed me in countless ways here at work and in my life, and I can do nothing but thank him for the current season in my life I am in.
