Authority Given By God!

Authority Given By God!

On the 15^th  day of the 2^nd  month after the Israelites had escaped from Egypt, they started through the Sinai Desert in the direction of Mount Sinai. There in the desert they started complaining to Moses and Aaron, "We wish the LORD had killed us in Egypt. When we lived there, we could at least sit down and eat all the bread and meat we wanted. But you have brought us out here into this desert, where we are going to starve." The LORD said to Moses, "I will send bread down from heaven like rain. Each day the people can go out and gather only enough for that day. That's how I will see if they obey me. But on the 6^th  day of each week they must gather and cook twice as much."Moses and Aaron told the people, "This evening you will know that the LORD was the one who rescued you from Egypt. And in the morning you will see his glorious power, because he has heard your complaints against him."You will know it is the LORD when He gives you meat each evening and more than enough bread each morning. He is really the one you are complaining about, not us--we are nobody--but the LORD has heard your complaints." Moses turned to Aaron and said, "Bring the people together” Aaron was speaking to them, when everyone looked out toward the desert and saw the bright glory of the LORD in a cloud. The LORD said to Moses, "I have heard my people complain. Now tell them that each evening they will have meat and each morning they will have more than enough bread. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God."  Bread from Heaven!! Really? Did it come? Wait to know till tomorrow.

Lesson to be Learnt:

            At times we complain against a person who is in higher level than us. May be our parents/Staff/Senior officer/Elders etc. They might be very strict unto you or may be always at your back making you do things which you might be sluggish to do. But look what the Lord says in the Bible. Authority is given over you by the Lord. He puts the right rulers above you. So if you are complaining against them not doing things or grumbling like the Israelites then it does mean that you are complaining against the Lord. So obey the elders who are set above you. When you obey this commandment the Lord will surely bless you and rise you in due time.

Romans 13:1

(CEV)  Obey the rulers who have authority over you. Only God can give authority to anyone, and He puts these rulers in their places of power.

(Hindi) हर एक व्यक्ति प्रधान अधिक्कारनेियोंके अधीन रहे? क्‍योंकि कोई अधिक्कारने ऐसा नहीं, जो परमेश्वर की ओर स न हो? और जो अधिक्कारने हैं, वे परमेश्वर के ठहराए हुए हैं।

(Kan) ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಬ್ಬನು ತನ್ನ ಮೇಲಿರುವ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳಿಗೆ ಅಧೀನನಾಗಿರಲಿ; ಯಾಕಂದರೆ ದೇವರಿಂದ ಹೊರತು ಒಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ಅಧಿಕಾರವಿರುವದಿಲ್ಲ; ಇರುವ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಗಳು ದೇವ ರಿಂದ ನೇಮಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟವರು.

(Mal) ഏതു മനുഷ്യനും ശ്രേഷ്ഠാധികാരങ്ങള്‍ക്കു കീഴടങ്ങട്ടെ. ദൈവത്താലല്ലാതെ ഒരധികാരവുമില്ലല്ലോ; ഉള്ള അധികാരങ്ങളോ ദൈവത്താല്‍ നിയമിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.

(Tamil OV)  எந்த மனுஷனும் மேலான அதிகாரமுள்ளவர்களுக்குக் கீழ்ப்படியக்கடவன்; ஏனென்றால், தேவனாலேயன்றி ஒரு அதிகாரமுமில்லை; உண்டாயிருக்கிற அதிகாரங்கள் தேவனாலே நியமிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.

(Telugu)  ప్రతివాడును పై అధికారులకు లోబడియుండవలెను; ఏలయనగా దేవునివలన కలిగినది తప్ప మరి ఏ అధికారమును లేదు; ఉన్న అధికారములు దేవునివలననే నియమింపబడి యున్నవి.
