Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
1 Peter 2:13-14 World English Bible
Reflection
Governance touches every corner of daily living, from local council chambers to parliament halls. Decisions made by elected representatives and civil servants determine how community resources are managed, how justice is administered, and how vulnerable citizens are supported. Ask God to grant discernment, wisdom, and integrity to men and women holding office at every level. May their work reflect fairness, truth, and genuine care for the well-being of every community.
