Wow, I've had a couple of great weekends full of energizing, fun times with friends. I'm so thankful that God knows just when to place those special people in our lives!
It was an interesting week of reading, which included the story of Naomi and Ruth (Ruth1:6-4:22). A powerful story about two women who are a part of the lineage of Jesus. But earlier in the week we were still in Judges, and I found it interesting that there were several times it was called out that Israel had no king (Judges 18:1, Judges 19:1, Judges 20:25). Those happened to be the three verses I had underlined as standing out to me this week.
Judges 20:25 says "In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes." Now I know that this is referring to an actual king, but I wonder how it might tie to the coming King of Kings? Maybe it doesn't, but it was interesting to me to have a similar phrase repeated. Any ideas?
