Judges 17-18, John 3:1-21, Psalms 104:1-23, Proverbs 14:20-21
What God said to me – There is a story in My word of a man named Micah who had two hundred pieces of silver from his mother made into a household idol. He even hired his own personal priest to tend to him. Some men from Dan came and stole his idol. He pursued them and confronted them saying, “You have taken away my god which I made.” It sounds silly doesn’t it – how can it be a god if a man made it and how can someone steal a god? Most people today are too “sophisticated” to actually bow down to an idol that someone made. However, people today are just like the people of Israel – they had no king, so they did what was right in their own eyes. People may not craft idols today, but they do what is right in their own eyes – they make themselves god, living their “truth”. “I AM” the way, the truth and the life. You cannot come to Me or live for Me apart from My truth. Unlike Israel in the time of the judges, as My child, you have a King – Me. If you want to please Me you must do what is right in My eyes, not yours.
