We are often familiar with what is said about servants and masters in the New Testament. We look in scriptures like Col 3:22-23, and Eph 4:5-8 and see that we are to honor our masters. However, it's not just our masters whom we have to some sort of respect. All people in positions of authority have to be respected. In that if they are doing wrong, we allow God to rebuke them. We are to pray for them.
Even the Archangel Michael dared not bring abusive condemnation against the devil but simply said "The Lord Rebuke You!". Jude 1:8-9 and Zech 3:2.
So the next time we feel like lashing out abusively at people who are in authority we should remember what Michael did, and follow suit.
