“In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25). Nothing much has changed since
those words were uttered by the man of
God, except to say that it gets worse as men’s
hearts grow darker and more unholy. Since men
refuse to let the Lord God rule over them as the
king of their lives, the only god they know is the
god of self. But he is not much of a bargain as far
as bargains are concerned. Nor is his kingdom
much of a reward. One day he will have to vac-
ate his little kingdom of self-centeredness and
submit to a King who is more Wiser and Power-
ful than he could ever hope to be:even Jesus
Christ the precious and lovely Son of God.
