Billy Graham Daily Devotional October 4, 2017
Topic: Respect for Authority
Key Verse: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All [authority] is given unto me in heaven and in earth —Matthew 28:18
MESSAGE: Have respect for authority. Jesus Christ was under the authority of His Father in heaven . . . He lived for one thing: to fulfill the will of the Father. Everyone is subject to some kind of authority. There is one chain of command and the ultimate authority at the top is God.
Billy Graham Daily Devotional Messages: Science and Religion
What is the authority in your life? Is it your selfishness? Your lust? Your greed? Or have you turned it all over to God and said, “Lord, You are going to be my authority?” When you are under authority, you are then able to assume authority.
Prayer for the day: There are still areas in my life that need to come under Your authority, Lord Jesus. Give me Your grace and strength to yield everything to You.
