Authority

Numbers 36
Verse 1,5 "Then the heads of the clans of Gilead-descendants of Makir, son of Manasseh, son of Joseph-came to Moses and the family leaders of Israel with a petition... The claim of the men of the tribe of Joseph is legitimate"

God is a God of justice and when we bring a legitimate claim before the Lord he hears our cry but we need to understand that God works through men, to establish and implement the justice and laws of God. There are some people who are so spiritual they say that they will only "answer to God" but that mentality is only an excuse for rebellion and no accountability.

We all are accountable to authority and that authority is implemented through flesh. Romans 13:1-2 teaches us that when we rebel against man's authority we rebel against God. Your boss is your boss, whether you like him or not and when your rebel against him you rebel against God. When you honor your boss, you honor God and position yourself for promotion and blessing. Colossians 3:23-24 teaches us that our reward comes from the Lord and that in all we do, we should do it as unto the Lord.
