Judges 21:25 says, “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” That wasn’t progress. That was the end of the road for a people who had wandered from the Lord. No king, no compass, just folks doing what felt right at the time.
That line’s been echoing in my head today. Seems like we’ve circled back around to the same place. You hear it all the time now—“live your truth,” “speak your truth,” “that’s true for you, but not for me.” But truth doesn’t come in versions. What most people call “their truth” is just their opinion, and if we’re honest, it’s often just a way to excuse whatever they were planning to do anyway.
When we each make up our own rules, there’s no way to hold the line. If one person says theft is wrong and another says it’s just resourceful survival, who’s to say which is right? What about lying, cheating, harming others, or ignoring the needs of the vulnerable? Without a higher standard, it’s just noise. And that noise turns into harm, sooner or later.
God’s truth isn’t popular, but it’s good. It doesn’t change with moods, trends, or social movements. His moral law has kept communities together and hearts in check since the beginning. Not because He’s trying to control us, but because He knows what brings life and what brings destruction. He created us, He loves us, and He sees farther than we can.
I’m not interested in reinventing morality to fit my preferences. I want to stay anchored to what God says is right. His Word may be old, but it’s not outdated. It’s timeless, steady, and true.
The world may choose to do what’s right in its own eyes, but I’m asking the Lord to help me see things through His.
Still learning,
