Judges 18:11 says, And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.  Six hundred men from Dan went out with weapons of war after the report of the spies.  When we believe that God is with us, there is no reason to delay in doing what we believe that He is leading us to do.  Verse twelve states, And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.  Matthew Henry says that military movements by the people of Israel were rare by this time, so the place was named for the people of Dan.  Verse thirteen adds,  And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.  They then came to the house of Micah.  Verse fourteen says, Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.  The five spies told the men of Dan of the teraphim, graven image and molten image in Micah's house and told them to consider what they had to do.  Matthew Henry says that they thought that if they could take these gods that it would give them power over the people there.  When we encounter false gods today, our concern should not be to attempt to use them for our benefit but to destroy them.  Verse fifteen adds, And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.  They got to the house of Micah and met the young Levite.  This should have been one of the priests of God, but instead he was serving false gods.  Not everyone that we meet today who profess to be followers of Christ are going to be.  Some may even be in positions of service in the church,  Verse sixteen declares, And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.  The aimed men of Dan stood by the entering of the gate.  Then verse eighteen adds, And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.  The five spies went ot Micah's house and stole the graven image, ephod, and teraphim while the priest was kept at the gate with the other men of Dan.  We should never attempt to use things dedicated to false gods for our own purposes of worship.  Verse eighteen continues, And these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?  After the spies took the items, the priest asked them what they were doing.  If we begin to worship the things of this world. it will be God Who is asking us what we are doing if we profess to be a follower of Christ.  Verse nineteen says, And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?  The men of Dan told the priest to remain silent and then asked if it would not be better for him to be a priest to a bunch of people than to one person.  They said that he could be a priest to a family of the tribe of Israel.  I believe this tells us something about the spiritual state of the people of Dan who were there .  Instead of destroying the idols, they claimed them as their own.  Verse twenty adds, And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.  This also tells us a lot about the young priest.  He did not say he was where God had called him to be, because he really wasn't.  He was happy to serve a larger group.  Sometimes today, preachers may be tempted to move to a larger congregation where they may be better paid, but the question should always be whether or not this is what God is leading them to do.  I believe sometimes serving in a larger congregation may be an idol in itself.  Verse twenty-one states, So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.  They left Micah's house with his gods and his priest, but this only put them farther away from God.  We may view ourselves as successful today because of our material success, but unless we allow God to guide us in all that we do we will never be spiritually successful.
