Judges 11-12:15; John 1:1-28; Psalm 101:1-8; Proverbs 14:13-14 (New International Version, ©2011)
38 “You may go,” he said. And he let her go for two months. She and her
friends went into the hills and wept because she would never marry. 39
After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as
he had vowed. And she was a virgin.
Oh stupid man. Why vow to kill someone that comes out of your house.
Why not the 1st one our of your barn. Who did he think would come out?
Why God? Why don't you stop us in our foolishness. Tell us in our
prayers and petitions not to say such things. Help us to rethink our
vowes before we plunge someone, like this girl to her death. Lord I am
deeply troubled by the lack of direction you gave this man. You let him
vow in his stupidity and take the life of his daughter. Would I allow
such a vow to be made to me? No Lord. I would note make a promise to
anyone based on the harm of one of your children. Why Lord do you have
such passages that show you to be heartless? Speak peace to my heart
Lord for this has brought an anger and a place of injustice about you
Lord. I am asking you Lord to give an account for your inaction. I
demand to know your ways that I may love you. I will not brush over
this harm, you have more than permitted. Speak Lord for your servant
needs to understand. For I follow you because I trust you Lord to be
good and just.
"For none know the day and the hour of their death but I says the Lord.
This girl belonged to me. She was my beloved that also loved and
honored her Father even unto death. For it was her time to be in heaven
with me. Would you begrudge me if she had died any other way? Child
all life and death is my making. So child look not upon her death but
on the lesson her father needed to learn, for you already see it. Make
not stupid vowes. I let him keep it for I chose the one that came
through the door. For it was her time. It was in my mercy that I let
her come. For death would have taken her by sickness. She was my jewel
and I wanted more for her. She knows this now as she is seated with me
in heavenly places. She was given the rare gift of knowing the day of
her passing. Able to delight in her friends, in her health before
going."
I praise you and thank you Lord for showing me your ways. I thank you
and praise you that you have shown me the importance of questioning your
ways that I may fully know you. Not to take bitterness into my heart
toward you. For even your word is but half the conversation. Lord
forgive us for not persisting in our anger towards you to understand
your ways. Father every time I press forward with words that seem
almost dishonoring to speak you in turn honor me with an answer. Thank
Father for you have shown yourself more than my Lord but also my
friend. One that you have given the right to question you. For it is
in that place that I will know you. For I am more than your child I am
to be your bride.
John
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen
his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself
God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him
known.
Psalm
8 Every morning I will put to silence
all the wicked in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer
from the city of the LORD.
Proverbs
13 Even in laughter the heart may ache,
and rejoicing may end in grief.
