“The Unlikely Hero”
“Now
Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of an
harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.” (v.1)
Men are not
to be blamed for the wrong doings of their parents as long as their personal
merits are beyond reproach. And, no matter where we come from, no matter what
our background, the LORD can use us all for His purposes. If Jephthah, the son
of a harlot, a reproach of his people, a marauder, could be used to defend
Israel – just think how God might use you.
We’ve all
come out of some pit. God has already performed miracles in our lives. Let’s
look forward to how He may want to bless us and use us in the future.
The Truth
“I delight
to do Your will, O my
God, And Your law is
within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8)
