Gilbert Breedlove regards his work as an act of worship to God. In fact, this North Carolina county judge recently resigned because he did not want to violate his Christian faith and perform same-sex marriages, now permitted under the state’s law. However, Breedlove is not worried about his financial future because his faith is in the Lord.

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.

Colossians 3:23

“I was Christian when I started,” Breedlove said. “Then, the law didn’t require me to perform something that was against my religious belief. Now that law has changed its requirements.”

Hebrews 6:10 says, “For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints.” The desire of every follower of Jesus Christ is to one day hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Strive to please God in all you do, and remember to thank the Lord each day for America’s leaders who faithfully serve Him. Intercede for God’s protection and provision whenever they choose to follow their Christian faith instead of taking the politically popular path.
