As our redemption draws near, we need to look up and to understand the times in which we live as various groups abuse authority and demand their rights. God looks for people who patiently look to him, always being an example. We may not see ourselves as leaders or overseers in the church, however for all of us, our lives are a testimony requiring faithful service so we might hear the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” In submitting to one another, we discover true humility.
