JEPHTHAH’S VOW<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JUDGES \u2013 11: 30-40<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jephthah ripped his garments apart now
Because to Jehovah he’d given this vow
If Jehovah of armies would give him this win
First out of Jephthah’s house would be given to Him
When Jephthah saw his daughter
He knew she was meant for Jehovah’s spiritual alter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jephthah’s daughter beseeched him despite his despair
Not to hold back from honouring his prayer
Her virginal state caused her to weep sad tears
She solemn promised to Jehovah to serve Him, her life’s total years
She was promised to Jehovah and not to a man
Marriage and childbirth would remain under ban<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israelites’ girls commended her yearly
For the decision she had made which cost her so dearly
Today, what can we learn from the loyalty shown
We serve Jehovah with whole heart and His approval own
To Jehovah our promise we must fulfil
Our life must be dedicated to doing His will<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
