In my OWN eyes

I have probably shared before that I used to be a quasi-athlete. I tried really hard and did the best I could but I was mediocre at best. However, the older I get the better I was.

It's strange how perception plays such a vital role in what we think, what we believe, what we do, how we act. It seems, especially in today's society, that if some celebrity says you should be eating this or not eating that, or you should be doing this and not doing that, that everyone thinks that is the way we should think. But, if it's not in GOD'S will, it doesn't matter who says it - it's still wrong.

Today's word is Judges 21:25, KJV, which reminds us about the children of Israel and how they were behaving: "In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes."

The children of Israel had no king. The prophets had yet to come on the scene. They had no moral or spiritual leader to tell them, to show them, to explain to them what was right and wrong. So, everyone was doing his or her own thing; everyone was doing and behaving however they wanted. Yet, they had been instructed in The Ten Commandments what was right and wrong.

No matter our perception. No matter what someone else, even celebrities, may tell us. No matter what "everyone else" may be doing, we have GOD'S instructions, The Holy Bible, to direct us and to tell us how to behave. I don't care what everyone else does; I want to do what GOD wants me to do. I want to be found right in His eyes, not in my own eyes.

Be Blessed,
