Rom 13:1-5
“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.” (Ro 13:1-2)

God is the highest power and He is the One who ordains higher powers on earth. All the stars of the universe are set in order through God’s power and are sustained second by second by the same power.  Authorities on earth are not exception to this rule: they were put in place by the power of God and are maintained in place by the same power.  Whoever we are, we are submitted to God and to the order of His creation. We obey to God’s laws in nature, such as gravity and others.

The implication is that we are also subjected to the higher powers ordained by God. We should consider this in our relations with our coworkers, superiors and bosses. Not to do this would be the equivalent of rebelling against God Himself. The impact is that we should first submit to God and then to earthly authorities, including our corporate relations with superiors and bosses on the workplace. My prayer is that we would submit ourselves to God. Then He will give us wisdom on how to deal in our corporate relations on the workplace.
