What's the Real Problem?

Ecclesiastes 8:2-3
 
This year's election in the United States has brought surprise to many. There have been upsets of great proportions to those who share the same party as our current leader, President Obama. The United States is blessed to have such liberties to vote, voice opinions and openly disagree with leadership. If you are so unhappy with government leadership in this country, then you either vote, accept it or relocate. You have the choice to be in the country considered to be "the leader of the free world." Not every country has the same liberties. In some countries, if you speak out against the leader, there is punishment. However, the word of God states that you are to obey your leadership. The word also says it is for the sake of your oath to God. God appoints leadership. You may have the privilege to openly disagree with your leader but do not do so to the level that it is disrespectful. Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines disrespect as discourtesy and discourtesy is defined as rudeness or rude act. And how many rude acts have you witnessed? If you disrespect the leadership God placed over you, then it is the same as disrespecting God, the one whom you claim to love. The NKJV Study Bible states, "Wisdom involves submission to authorities. People employed in the service of the government wisely obey even when a task is personally unpleasant." So if you refuse to obey the authority figure that has been placed over this country, then you can always relocate somewhere else and obey the authority there. Lack of respect in any situation is often a symptom of another problem. What's the real problem?
