“Now there was a man of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Micah.” Judges 17:1
As mentioned before, Judges is a collection of very sad and sordid tales. Here we are introduced to Micah. In the next 2 Chapters we will learn that he stole money from his mother, and upon restoring it, will use some of it to make a graven and molten image, create a shrine for worshiping, and employ a wandering Levite as their Priest; all in the name of Jehovah! And the story goes downhill from there. Rightly does Judges proclaim “Every man did what was right in his own eyes”!
But are we any better? Does this not describe how we live and think at times? Does this not describe today’s Church? Oh God, Wake Us Up!!!
