Thoughts for Today
During this period in Israel's history, the people were inconsistent in following God. With no central vision of God's laws and statutes, "all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes." The result? Social disorder... sin.
We could use this same phrase to describe today's society. Masses of people are doing whatever seems right in their own eyes. "If it feels good, do it" has become a common mantra.
Consider this ...
An "if it feels good, do it" attitude does not result in peace. It results in chaos, selfishness, strife, and all manner of sin. If our world is to find peace, it must turn to Yahweh-Shalom.
And if we as individuals want to find inner peace, we will find it only in the Lord. By choosing his way instead of ours. By submitting to his commands instead of our feelings. By choosing to do what is right in his eyes, not ours.
