How to Stop Learning the Hard Way (Judges 18:17)

Today's Bible Verse: "The five men who had spied out the land went up and entered the house and took the idol, the ephod and the household gods, while the priest and the six hundred armed men stood at the entrance of the gate." — Judges 18:17

How do you avoid repeating mistakes and learning life's lessons the hard way?

Their actions remind us that not everything that seems beneficial or convenient is actually right in God's eyes.
