Judges 13-18
What God said to me – During the time of the judges, every man did what was right in his own eyes for there was no king in Israel. They didn’t realize that I was to be their king. They turned from Me and went their own way. The ways of men, however, are not My ways so when you go your own way, you move away from Me. When you cease looking at Me as king and cease seeking My leadership and direction in your life, you automatically go your own way and fall away from Me. The world has gone their own way and done what is right in their own eyes for so long, evil and darkness have become the norm. You must stay close to Me and listen and obey to keep from falling into that trap. It looks enticing, but the end is death and judgment.
