Today is day 305 and we are studying The Fifth Commandment.

305. What blessings result from obeying the fifth commandment?

Submission to God’s appointed earthly authorities helps me to resist pride and grow in humility, and promotes the justice and peace (shalom)of society in which human life flourishes. (Exodus 20:12; 1 Chronicles 29:23; Proverbs 10:17; Romans 13:1–4; Hebrews 13:17)

We will conclude today by praying Prayer 91.For Submission to God's Will found on page 673 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
