No King?

Who rules over your life? How do you make decisions? Who determines what is moral, or what is right or wrong?
In the Book of Judges in the era when Judges ruled over the nation of Israel, the author writes, “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” (Judges 21:25, ESV).
When there is not a moral authority, people slip into the default of moral relativism and corruption. Everyone becomes their own moral authority. Moral ambiguity and corruption become the norm for the majority.
When God is king over our lives and is the moral authority, we submit to God’s rule and reign in our lives and in the world and there is peace, order, and goodness.
May we live our lives as subjects of God the King and find peace, order, and goodness all of our days.
A Prayer for the Peace of the World: “Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.” (#27., Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
