“In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”
Judges 17:6
Sadly in our day it is still happening…doing what is right in own eyes instead of God’s eyes!!!
Obey God not self!

“So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock to the Lord. And He did a wondrous thing while Manoah and his wife looked on— it happened as the flame went up toward heaven from the altar—the Angel of the Lord ascended in the flame of the altar! When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground. When the Angel of the Lord appeared no more to Manoah and his wife, then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of the Lord.”
Judges 13:19-21
Ever notice how many people who have an encounter with Lord end up on their faces in worship?
When we see Jesus for the first time where do you think we will end up? On our faces in worship!!!

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”

“And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.”
Judges 2:19
Israel was do hard headed! God showed them over and over again love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness but they continued to disobey? Why oh why? Why do we seem to do the same thing? It is a costly thing to do!

“Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.”

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
Joshua 1:8
The key to success…knowing and following the Bible. The success God has for us is not necessarily money but doing His will in our life by being obedient and loving Him above all!
