If we follow His teaching (love God, and love people), then we’ll be all right!īeim Hotelaufenthalt hingegen befindet sich der Gast nach Verlassen seines As I look forward to the hope of my heavenly home, my prayers are for people to know Jesus. As we’re passing through this life, we’re to seek justice and peace, and pray for those in authority so that we’ll have a tranquil life. We’re not only citizens of the United States, but the Bible tells us we’re citizens of Heaven. Those who are Jesus-followers have dual citizenship. I pray for revival in our Nation, for a third Great Awakening, where people turn back to God. He does exactly what we request when we don’t want Him. God eventually removes His blessings and protection from those who don’t want them. There can be no good from that! As in ancient Israel, we ignore God at our peril. Over the years we’ve succeeded in removing God from the public square. Criminals are released from prison years early, then go on to commit other violent crimes. Respect for our police officers goes down while violence against them goes up. The news programs show brazen acts of shoplifting that will go unpunished. Murder rates are at levels not seen in years. Our lawmakers pass laws, but then enforcement of those laws is deemed “racist.” District attorneys make lists of crimes they will not prosecute. People are doing what is right in their own eyes. Israel paid for ignoring God’s law by losing her independence, and losing God’s favor. Whether we’re talking about God’s law or civil law, when people decide to do their own thing, it leads to societal breakdown and chaos. There’s a problem with our doing “what right in own eyes”: It leads to lawlessness. This happened many times, over and over again. Eventually the people would forget the Lord their God, and start the cycle again. God would then appoint a judge, who would deliver Israel from the bondage of occupation. The people would then cry out to God, Who would hear and have mercy on His people. God would then remove His protection from Israel, and they would be occupied by other nations, such as Philistia. The cycle, as described in Judges, was like so: Israel would forget their God, and worship the idols. He warned Israel that should they fail to heed His warnings, they would be subject to occupation by these nations, and eventually, deportation to foreign lands. God warned Israel, through His servants Moses and Joshua, that He was their God, and that they should not worship the idol gods of the surrounding nations. It hit me that in the United States today we’re seeing much of the same scenario being played out.Īncient Israel, before they had kings, was trapped in a vicious cycle of lawlessness. I read Judges recently as I’m walking through the Bible.
It’s repeated a couple other times previously. This verse is the last in the book of Judges. In those days there was no king in Israel everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
