Location of Ephraim NO KING NO AUTHORITY The idolatry of Judges 17-18 now moves to the near "stepchild" of immorality in Judges 19 and both of these sins are evidence of Israel's general apostasy. Sadly another "stepchild" of apostasy is anarchy which breaks forth in a bloody civil war in Judges 20-21. America is teetering on the slippery slope of apostasy which has led to general approval of unspeakable immorality (cf Ro 1:32+) and growing warning signs of anarchy in the looting and rioting in the streets of America in the 2020's! Revive us O God! THOUGHT - When Jesus is not on the throne of my heart in the morning, statistically speaking, I am very likely to do what is right in my own eyes in the next 16 waking hours! What about you, beloved? We must crown Him King of our heart every morning (He is always the King, but we need to acknowledge and surrender to His loving Lordship) and rely on His royal gift of the Holy Spirit to walk in a manner worthy of the LORD, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, all for his glory (Gal 5:16+, Col 1:9,10+). Amen? Amen! Warren
