Accountability~Fortification Part One

I am in a sad part of Judges in my daily reading.  Judges 17:6 says, “In those day there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” The tribe of Dan still had not taken possession of their inheritance.

They sent out five spies. They came to a quiet and secure place called Laish. Judges 18:7 and 28 both say, “…they  had no ties with anyone.” No accountability leaves us vulnerable to the work of enemy. He looks for those who have isolated themselves from others.

Proverbs 18:1 says, “A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against  all wise judgment.” When a wild animal seeks prey and comes upon a herd, it will look for the weakest. It knows that if it can separate it, then it will be able to easily take it down.
