We will be in job situations with bosses that we like and bosses that we do not. We may find out selves in various political jurisdictions with rulers we agree with and those we do not. But whether we support those over us or not, we need to realize that every power, ruler and authority on any level has been approved by Christ to be there.
Christ is triumphant. We need to drill this in our minds because once we get this, we can do mighty things. It is one thing to understand something in our head, and it is something else to understand something in our heart. If we really believe this, there is nothing that we should be afraid to hope in, and there is nothing that we should be afraid to ask for.
We stunt our own growth in Christ because we do not move our head knowledge to our heart knowledge. If we really accepted this, we would ask for more things from God. We would start to ask for bigger things from God. As John Piper says, there is one thing that we can be sure of: "He will accomplish all His purposes for the church and for the universe."
If you had a best friend who was famous, you would expect to have some benefits associated with that friendship. To say that all things are subject to Christ really means all things. So then ,what more is it going to take to move head knowledge to heart knowledge? How do we test where our knowledge is? By how we pray.
