The Bible Project Daily Podcast Determining What’s Right and What’s Wrong. (Judges 21:1–25)
Welcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast. Today, we reach the final chapter of Judges—a disturbing yet powerful conclusion that forces us to ask: How do we know what’s truly right? The Israelites believed they were doing the right thing, but ended up compounding injustice with more and more sin. In this episode, we reflect on the dangers of relying on our own judgment, and the call to seek what pleases the Lord. Because when we do what is right in our own eyes, we often miss what’s right in His.
📌 Episode Notes
Summary:
What starts with grief ends in rationalization, manipulation, and moral confusion. This tragic end reveals the consequences of a nation with no king—and a people doing what is right in their own eyes. But as believers today, we do have a King: Jesus. And the call is not to follow our hearts, but to follow Him.
Key Verse:
“In those days, there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” — Judges 21:25
Takeaway:
Right and wrong are not determined by instinct or urgency, but by abiding in Christ and asking daily: Does this please the Lord?
