2 Chronicles 6:4

Then he [Soloman] said:
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who with his hands has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to my father David...

Andy's part:

God does not make empty promises. He follows through on what He says He will do. You can trust God & hold onto the hopes and promises He gives you.

Catherine's part:

Isn't it great how God fulfills His promises? We don't necessarily know how He will do it, or when, but when He has promised something we can trust that He will do it. It doesn't matter who or what is in opposition, God is stronger than men and demons, and He will always win!

Romans 13:3, 7

For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

Andy's part:

Do right. Even if you are not commended by your ruler, God will commend you. Do wrong and you will be punished now or in eternity.

Catherine's part:

Doing the right thing can be one of he hardest things to do, especially if we don't like the person or people in charge of us. God can change our hearts so we want to do right. When we love God doing right comes easier, and in pleasing Him we will be free from fear of those in authority.
