Romans 13:3-5 in the Message and TNIV translations
"For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good." v.4 TNIV
This is how sick I am: when I first read that, I thought, "what if I worked at Dunder Mifflin, and Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute were my bosses?" Those guys are God's servants?
If you haven't yet worked for someone you thought was inept/corrupt/unfair/out to get you, you probably will. I have had some great bosses, and some terrible ones. And I've learned a great deal from both. As painful as the experiences with the bad bosses were, they were formative experiences. God taught me and grew me under bad bosses in ways I never would have grown under an easier boss.
The one in authority over you may not always be good, but he/she can be for your good. What does God want to teach you through your relationship with your boss?
