Psalm 83(1) Season 1 Episode 44 

Dear friends. We can not habituate holiness in our own ways, can we? Holiness doesn't just happen unless our ungodliness is replaced with the life of the holy one. We do not naturally know what is right to do. We will always choose to do what is right in our own eyes. The recent uproaring of the riots across the nation is like a drunken crowd. They are doing what is right, just and neglecting the holy judge in heaven. It proves that human beings do not naturally know what is right to think and to do on our own. We can not do right at all with God's discipline hands. If Jesus did not come to replace our mind and heart with renewed changes, like miracles, happen every day, we will surely fail our roles as thinkers and doers again and again. 

We are familiar with communal sin, aren't we? The first communal sin was committed against Joseph and covered as an accident by his brothers. Since then, the people of Israel have not ceased to do what is only right in their own eyes.  Where is hope?  What is wrong with doing what is right in our own eyes. The wound from World War II still stings when international sin was committed with an excuse to do public good. The crime was coated with philosophical, biological, and political Utopian color; however, it only condemns and bears no marks of justice but a hellish world in the war.

We should think deeply and stop and think again and again. Why is it wrong to do what is only right in our own eyes. We will continue with the second half of Psalm 83 and we praise God that he is never silent before injustice and injustice will be undone in Jesus Christ in his resurrected glory. We lament and yet again it seems that the evil is still speaking vehemently. 

Proverbs 28:19 says "Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint but blessed is he who keeps the law."
