Respect those who are over you in the Lord. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.
(1 Thessalonians 5:12-13)
Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.
They keep watch over you as men who must give an account.
(Hebrews 13:17)
Watch Word for 2022 “Christian courage is holding on an hour longer as we watch for the return of Christ.” Courage is like a muscle. The more we exercise it, the stronger it gets. I sometimes worry that our collective courage is growing weaker from disuse. We don't demand it from our leaders, and our leaders don't demand it from us. The courage deficit is both our problem and our fault. As a result, too many leaders in the public and private sectors lack the courage necessary to honor their obligations to others and to uphold the essential values of leadership. U.S. Senator John McCain
