What comes to mind when you think about authority? Maybe you think of the authorities, a term some use to describe law enforcement. Or maybe you think about the authority that your teachers at school have over you. But what does the word authority mean? It’s the “power to influence or command thought, opinion, or behavior.”

Now that we know this, what is this verse saying when it says that Jesus has authority over heaven and earth? It means that He has power and control beyond what we can see or understand. So, in the midst of what makes our world feel crazy, we can have comfort in knowing that Jesus sees it all and takes care of us, even when things don’t go the way we planned.

Today, when something happens that you weren’t expecting, whether it is good or bad, take time to pray and ask what Jesus might be trying to show you in the situation you are walking through. You can have peace in knowing that Jesus is still with you and working.
