Only One Right Way

“In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” Judges 21:25

Have you ever tried to do something that God has ordained your own way or in your own strength? Perhaps, like me, you’ve done the right thing for the wrong reason or the wrong thing for what you believed to be a very good reason. Any time we do our thing our way it’s wrong. We must look to our King to order our steps and activities daily and we must follow the precepts in His Word so that we do what is right in His eyes, not our own. Ask Him today to keep your path straight so that you won’t be tempted to do things your own way and to speak to your heart so that you won’t sin against Him by doing what might seem right in the moment but would bring displeasure to Him.

I’m afraid this sounds very much like the world we live in today; everyone doing what is right in his own eyes. There is still only one right way to do things and that is God’s way.
