NO KING
Today's reading:  Judges 17-21

"In those days there was no king of Israel.  People did whatever they felt like doing."  Judges 17:6 MSG

"At that time there was no king in Israel.  People did whatever they felt like doing."  Judges 21:25 MSG

Twice it's mentioned.

Two times God chose to let us know what the problem was.

Not once, but twice, He gave us the warning.

If we do not have a King, we're headed in to trouble!

Our country needs a King.  One that saves, redeems, forgives and restores.

Our homes need a King.  One that influences dads and moms to live godly lives as examples.

Our churches need a King.  Not just a pastor or a preacher.  Not just a great song leader or an outstanding Sunday School co-ordinator.  We need a King in our church that governs and directs the goings-on, so that eternity can be sought for souls headed for hell!

I need a King.  On my own, I'm incapable of making godly choices.  Without one, my allegiance varies from emotion to emotion.  I need a King to guide and guard me, to save me from myself!
