Honor due

Honestly, I did not vote for him, but I hope that in the future I can look back on his presidency and say that he was a great president. At this point I am doubtful to say the least. However, as Americans we must pull together if this country is to succeed as a democracy. Whether a good president or not, his position DEMANDS RESPECT. The early Christians had to deal with leaders who opposed Christians so much that they ordered their death. Imagine yourself under those circumstances and then reading (or possibly just hearing) the words of the apostle Paul:

Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but from God: the powers that are, are ordained by God.
Rom 13:2 Whoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power; do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same:
Rom 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou doest that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Rom 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Rom 13:6 For, for this cause ye pay tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Rom 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. The Webster Bible

Whatever your political persuasion, I encourage you to reflect on these words of Paul and obey.
