Thankful for godly leadership!

Scripture reading for March 13th:  Judges 18-21

Key Scriptures:  Judges 18:18-20 “When these men went into Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, the other household gods and the cast idol, the priest and said to them, “What are you doing?”  The answered him, “Be Quiet! Don’t say a word. Come with us, and be our father and priest.  Isn’t it better that you serve a tribe and clan in Israel as priest rather than just one man’s household?”  Then the priest was glad.  He took the ephod, the other household gods and the carved image and went along with the people.”

 The tribe of Dan had turned to idolatry and a form of religion.  They had no King or did not remember the Lord and His Word.  This story tells of an idolatrous family and tribe whose priest served for dishonest gain!

Thankful for godly leadership:  God commands leaders to live godly examples and not work for money but for Him!  “Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you.  You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed.”  (1st Thessalonians 22:9-10)
