Judges 21:25- In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
There are 2 views in life. What we see and what God sees. Whose lenses are you viewing your life from? Oh! you said yours? What's in your view?
Scripture declares that in the days when there was no king in Israel, the people viewed life from their own view. The view from the lense of "me, myself and I" leads them and us into doing what is "right" in own own eyes.
There are many sincere people who want to do right, but they want to decide for themselves what is "right," good and evil.
The danger in living and doing what appears to be "right" in our own eyes is found in these powerful words of King Solomon. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov. 14:12, NIV).
The call today is to fear God (reverence and respect Him and His word as authority in our lives), depart from evil and not be wise in our own eyes.
Let me make this clear on today. Regardless of which lenses you are viewing your life from, clear sight only comes from the lenses of God's Word that is found in His bible.
Contrary to what you have heard, seen or think you know, Jesus is the way! He is the Door! Enter therein!
Anyone who has convinced themselves that they can live according to what is right in their own eyes lives on a path of misery and deceit that will eventually lead to destruction, because the way of true love, peace and joy through Christ Jesus they have rejected and care not to know.
When all the serving "Me" is over, what do you have left? A heart that will be examined by God.
I can only hope and pray that at the end of the day, you have come to the conclusion that our way is not the best way! GOD IS THE ONLY WAY!
Today is a brand new day. A day to make a fresh new start with God, a day to clear your vision, a day to change your lenses and the direction of your life now and in the future.
God bless.
