"In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes." -Judges 17.6
This verse says it all, there was no king, no leader, in Israel, and so every man did what was right to him. There was no regard for God's laws or standards, everything became relative to the individual. There is a need for godly leadership in Israel. They need someone who is committed to God, who knows and communicates with God, who will point them to God's standards.
There is a need for strong, godly leadership. If there is no one to proclaim the truths of God, if there is no one to instruct people in His ways, the people are left to their own desires. With no one to provide guidance into objective truth, relativism is all that is left. If people aren't aware of the standards and absolutes of God, then all they can do is follow what seems right to them.
Men, this world is in desperate need of godly leadership. Relativism is everywhere, and there are attempts to present sin as objective truth. We must rise up and proclaim the truths of God. We must live the righteous truth of God and guide others towards it as well. This world needs leaders, and we have been created by God to provide the leadership that the world is so desperate for.
Let us rise up as godly leaders. Let us point the world towards truth.
"Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."
To God alone be the Glory!
Strength and Honor
