We are to honor our nation with obedience and prayer, though we must never commit sin in response to an edict.
God requires us to honor and obey those who are in positions of authority over us. These rulers have a special obligation to perform their tasks well. They will be required to answer to God. If they fail to rule fairly, they will suffer His consequences.
Elohim -- the all powerful King, our Father-God, His perfectly loving and holy Son, the always tender and always powerful Holy Spirit...one God in three persons – created everything. Whatever nations that exist on this earth have their rulers, governments, and economies with His permission. He knows all our problems and is managing all of what goes on according to His master plan.
Even though we often fail to understand, He works whatever happens for good to and for all of us who love Him and are called from the foundation of the world according to His intentions and purposes. Nothing exists without His permission. No government rules Him, and no ruler can maintain his position except through God’s authority. (Romans 8:28)
