In Judges 11, we read of the account of Jephthah who was expelled from Gilead home but had a Godward inclination and whose name was listed amongst the hero of faith in Hebrews 11. He called upon God and made a vow to God. His daughter whose name was never mentioned in the Bible , only known as "Jephthah's daughter" had such a commendable character. After knowing of her father's vow to sacrifice to the Lord, she showed no resentment nor rebellion. Her reply was most heroic in Judges 11:36, .."she said to him, “My father, if you have given your word to the Lord , do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, because the Lord has avenged you of your enemies....” Let us learn to have this true devotion and obedient spirit to our Heavenly Father who knows and gives us the best. https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
