In God's Sight
I am so very thankful God bases His judgments and observations according to His unchanging standards, not what man says. Likewise, I need to see through God’s eyes, not according to man’s popular opinion, from which to arrive at truth.
The last verse of the book of Judges (21:25) seems very fitting when we don’t follow God’s standard, “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did AS HE SAW FIT.”
It is a sad day when we are ruled by what we “see as fit”. That ruling will always result in the easy, unaccountable and most self-satisfying way. But in the end our display of rebellion will never deliver the peace, contentment, acceptance and assurance we so desperately desire and search for.
