You Have the Authority You Need
You are not a doormat!
What does the word authority mean to you? Both your authority and that of others? You do realize you have tremendous authority, don’t you?
Let’s see if we can shed more light on the subject of authority. If you are not aware of the authority you possess, you’re in for a treat!
Authority
When you hear the word authority, what comes to mind? Do you imagine a person with a badge and gun? How about a government official or agency? What about a parent, customer, boss, or your bosses boss? Do you think of God and the Bible?
There are many sources of authority and power in life. Aren’t you thankful for the peace they provide? I sure am! Yes, those with various types of authority must exist in our lives.
Have you ever considered the authority you possess? What authority? The personal authority you have over yourself. Everyone has it, but how you use it is crucial to living a good life.
Sometimes you must give some of your authority to your spouse, pastor, friends, colleagues, relatives, and others for your benefit. However, you must be careful of giving up too much personal authority because of the potential loss of control.
