And the people of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and they went out from there every man to his inheritance.
In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
(Judges 21:24-25 ESV)
Our society is bent on individual freedom - to such an extreme that nothing is wrong (except to say something is wrong.) We have set ourselves up for such a distressful situation that it seems almost impossible to did our way out. And it is. We need someone else to did us out. But all is not hopeless. The people of Israel faced a similar situation at the end of the book of Judges. By the time we get to the end of the next section of history, there will be hope. But it comes not from us, our our great ability to do it on our own and do it our way. It is by doing it God's way. Let's look for His Hope, His way.
