Seek Godly discernment, as you pray aloud the words of this Lazaroo:

“So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: ‘Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, because they have come to spy out the whole land.’”
(Joshua 2:3)

You’ve commanded me to obey my leaders, Jesus.

Normally.

It doesn’t matter if I agree.

My idea might be better.
Theirs might be extremely poor
even unfair.

But if they’re my leader
I’m bound to obey.

Normally.

It doesn’t make any difference if I like them.

They may be hypocrites
cruel, lying, faithless, unfair.

It doesn’t matter.

If they order it
I have no choice but to obey.

Normally.

Everybody in authority
was put there by You.

I don’t have to understand that
but I’d better believe it

However, if my leader ever commands me to disobey You

I have no choice but to disobey them

even if it costs me my life.
