Doing Right in Our Own Eyes

Introduction: Are we living in the days of the Judges? Before you answer, read the text.

“In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 29:21).

Several insights emerge from this verse.

1. No Leadership – no real King in Israel! (Judges 29:21) – “In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”

Israel had to have a king like all the other nations. This was in spite of Jehovah God being their king. Yet, He was not enough according to them.
 
This is where Israel began to fall further into sin and idolatry. God let them have a king and then raised up one Judge after another. Ultimately, He came as a King. Though He was rejected, His plan is to come again as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
 

2. No God – fearing Leadership in America! (Judges 29:21) – This would be the modern translation of that verse! 

In these days, there is no real, godly leadership in America: therefore, we are seeing every man doing that which is right in his own eyes.

Most anything goes….away with moral truth, whatever one decides is truth. Really? This my friend is where our nation has departed from the God of the Bible – the living God, Jesus Christ. 

How about you? Do you submit to authority? How about the LORDSHIP of Jesus Christ? Is He Ruler of your life? He desires to be, and really demands to be Lord!

Conclusion: Instead of doing right in our own eyes, we have a great need to be led by our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ!

Amen.
