Judges 21:25 “In those days Israel had no king, so the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.”
Oh how like the world today – how like the USA – no king – no faith in me. Your nation has strayed so far from my side that everyone is doing whatever seems right to them – and society is crumbling. Life is becoming more dangerous, more difficult, less secure. Remember this in your own life, also. You have confessed that you have been straying from my side – leaving me behind as your King – the farther away you get, the more you will become like Israel in those days – doing whatever seems right in your eyes — Keep your eyes on me. Keep me in my right place – as your God, your King, your Lord. Watch for me, listen to me, obey me, and all will go well with you. Otherwise, you will wander back into the old life where you reigned – and life did not work.
