In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
And each event gets crazier and crazier. Sin kills. Sin destroys. Sin is ravenous and without satiety.
Thank You Lord God for Your leadership and for Your divine provision
of leadership over me. I can see why the folks would clamor for a king
as this insanity had to be a scary thing for the mere mortals who
desired to live regular lives. There is no mention of anyone being
raised up in the spirit of Moses or Joshua … There just doesn’t seem to
be any accountability for those nameless/faceless folks making the
choices for the tribes and nation. It’s like they just made it up as
they went. Holy Spirit, help me to yield and honor those You have put
in place over me. May I not complain, rather inspire me with Your
vision that I may be part of the solution. Where I entertain sin or
welcome arrogance, please remind me of the waste of the young woman’s
life and death that I may rethink (with Your pure and holy truth) my
affiliation with such deadly folly.
