RecentlyI’ve heard citizens of a particular country criticizing an elected official of another country simply because the official says thing they don’t like. The official has parental citizenship of the criticizing country, but this did not stop her from saying sharp words about the country. When I watch clips of people criticizing her, I always wonder, what do these people want from her? Do they want her to not serve the people who elected her? Were they expecting that she would do their bidding simply because here parents were born in their country or even that she had spent some years in that country when growing up? Why would they expect her to be elected by one country but turn around and work for another? I jokingly ask, is it possible to be employed by Apple but be working for Microsoft?

 

In Romans chapter 6 verse 16, the Bible says:

 

Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

 

Many believers claim that they are God’s children and that God is their Master, but when they face challenges, they often find themselves looking for solution from somewhere else.
