Hi GAMErs!
Today’s passage is Judges 18:14-31. Let’s go!
Judges 18:14-20 (NIV)
14 Then the five men who had spied out the land of Laish said to their brothers, “Do you know that one of these houses has an ephod, other household gods, a carved image and a cast idol? Now you know what to do.”
15 So they turned in there and went to the house of the young Levite at Micah’s place and greeted him.
16 The six hundred Danites, armed for battle, stood at the entrance to the gate.
On verses 14-20: Earlier when this priest needed a place to stay, Micah gave him a home and a job. Now, upon being offered more opportunity and prestige by the Danites, this priest quickly abandons Micah and even takes Micah’s idols with him. Micah must have felt utterly betrayed and sucker punched by this priest’s lack of loyalty and low EQ, as he did not even discuss the matter with Micah.
What’s the lesson here?
– Before you decide to make a significant investment in someone as Micah did in this priest, make sure you get a good sense of that person’s character. Otherwise, you may end up betrayed and sucker-punched the way Micah was by this priest.
