Judges 17:6 In those days Israel had no king, all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.
Our verse sounds a bit like what is happening in our own world. Everyone doing what they think is right in their own eyes but we only have to see the News to know it's not working and it's because we were created and designed by Almighty God for a life lived with Him, loved and protected and guided by Him. We weren't designed to do our own thing!
Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us that God's thoughts are not the world's thoughts, that His ways are not the world's ways. He says His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts than our thoughts and the only way we can find out His ways and thoughts is through His Word, through Jesus.
When we read the book of Judges we read of people who seem to be muddling along but God doesn't want His people muddling along any more and He gave us Jesus to be our Wisdom, our Righteousness and anything else we need.
Let's be a people today who don't do what seems right to us but a people who know their God, who seek after Him, who follow Jesus and His ways. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and Jesus came to give us His life to the full, till it overflows.
That is a firm, definite, glorious promise of a fulfilling life in Jesus. There is no 'seems right' about it. He is The Life. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
