Day 93: Judges 10-12

Today on Meditating the Word, we read about judges Tola, Jair and Jephthah, and the hard lessons of vows and obedience, the battle between Jephthah and Ephraim, and the judges Ibzan, Elon and Abdon.

This is Day 93. Today we are reading Judges 10-12

Father God, again, your word is sometimes difficult for us to read. But we will be faithful and trust that you will give us revelation on the difficult passages so we can take the lessons we need to learn and apply them to our lives. We know from scriptures we have already read, that you take vows seriously, and in the account of Japhthah, the importance of not making rash vows is driven home. His daughter, his only child, was sacrificed because of his rash oath. And we see her obedience to her father... even unto death. Just as Jesus was obedient to you unto death on the cross. May we also be obedient, Father. Amen.
