“When you have entered the land Adonai your God is giving you, have taken possession of it and are living there, you may say, I want to have a king over me, like all the other nations around me.”
Deuteronomy 17:14 CJB

Even though Moses anticipated that Israel would demand a king to rule over them, he gave instructions on how and what to do if that happened! The thing is God never wanted Israel to be like the world, but God will let us have our way, because He doesn’t force His perfect ways upon us! Life is always better following Adonai and His ways!

“As high as the sky is above the earth are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Shabbat Shalom!

“Then all Israel will hear about it and be afraid, so that they will stop doing such wickedness as this among themselves.”

“I will break down the strength of the wicked, but the strength of the righteous will be raised up.”
Psalm 75:10 CJB

Do we complain about wickedness or do we do something about it? Do we complain about wicked half time shows, awards shows or news casts? Or do we destroy it by turning it off and stop supporting it all together? A really good question to ask ourselves!

“I will not allow before my eyes any shameful thing. I hate those who act crookedly; what they do does not attract me.”
Psalm 101:3 CJB
