Timely and Relevant

I decided that instead of watching President Obama’s “State of the Union” speech tonight, that it’d be a much better use of my time to read about the real Messiah. I’m working through a 52-week Bible reading plan with Alex this year, but because I’m just over a week behind schedule currently, the reading for tonight was Romans 13-14. The first words I just read?
“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” (Romans 13:1, ESV)
Who said God’s Word wasn’t relevant? Those are words that everyone of all political stripes would do well to remember more often. This isn’t the first time in this Bible reading plan that a passage I’ve read has been particularly timely, either, and I was just struck by it. Anyway, now back to Romans.
