I fight Authority...Authority always wins

In the words of singer/songwriter John Mellencamp:


"I fight authority, Authority always wins
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins
Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid
I come out grinnin'
Well, I fight authority, Authority always wins"



Isn't that how it works with God? We try to fight His authority by replacing it with our own. While that may appear to work in the short term...it never actually does. God's authority always wins. If we spent as much time seeking God's will in our lives as we do fighting His authority, we'd be in much closer proximity to God. 


Pray this prayer with me...God, we submit to your authority. We seek your will in our lives and will listen closely to your Word. Please turn us away from what the world wants and redirect us back to you. It is only in you that we will find our true identity and purpose. 


Amen.
