Everyone Did What Was Right In His Own Eyes

Judges 17:5-6(NKJV)

5The man Micah had a shrine, and made an ephod and household£ idols; and he consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. 

6In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

See how easy it is to go astray when we all "do what is right in our own eyes"?  Micah seems to have been a spiritual man.  I don't get the sense that he was evil or had evil intent.  But what did he do?  He made images to worship.  He replaced God with his own gods.  You may have noticed from previous writings that this is one thing that really seems to tick God off.

How many times are we guilty of that?  Substituting our judgment for God's.  Deciding how to allocate our time, money, talents, and resources as we see fit instead of as God sees fit?

As we move forward into 2013 let's all make an effort to stay focused on God. 

May you all have a highly favored and prosperous New Year!
