For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
I think Joseph is a great example of this. He gets sent to prison for something he didn't to. If he had fought and been angry about it, he would probably not have ended up being given the positions of authority he was given.
Lord, thank you for giving us people to protect us. Help us to trust you and follow their rules. Amen.

Romans 13:1 - Governing authorities, established by God
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
In this election year and always, let's remember that God is in control of everything, even politics.
Lord, thank you for establishing governing authorities. Please help us to be subject and respectful, regardless of our political opinions. Amen.
