ALL OF MY LIFE

This brings us back to our major theme in this chapter: A fundamental trait of a God-fearing person is to live all of life under God’s authority. We’re to live under the authority of His Word and under the authority of those God has placed over us in government, in the church, in the family, and in the workplace.

Before leaving this chapter, take time to pray over each of these authority relationships. Is any one of them troublesome to you? Ask yourself these questions:

• Do I wholeheartedly acknowledge God’s authority, both in His precepts and His providences, in my life? Do I resent or question any of His providential circumstances in my life?

• Do I seek to live all of life under the authority of God’s Word, believing what it says and seeking to apply its teachings to every area of my life?

• Am I chafing—either openly or secretly in my heart—under any God-ordained human authorities? Are there any relationships here in which I need to change my attitude or actions?
