We must never forget the sacrifice that Jesus made for us.

Dear Jesus, thank you for being our hero. Help us to every day stand up for what is right even when it’s hard and no one else is doing it. Give us an opportunity to bring Your hope to someone. In Jesus Name, Amen.

"Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So, anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So, you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience." Romans 13:2-5 NLT
