"And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth...." Judges 11:36
In this astounding account we see a picture of our faithful God, and a Son (daughter), eager to do the fathers will.
I find these old testament stories can sometimes be confusing or even repulsive (think Tamar) if not seen through the finished work of Christ. As Edmund P Clowney, and others, has shown in "Preaching Christ in all of Scripture", these then are types and shadows of Him. They point to Jesus.
We are not faithful, we do our keep our vows. Why, we've never kept one commandment one time.
Yes, go ahead and be a Daniel, David, Hosea, Abraham, Noah, Jonah.
Moreover, worship the One who truly is those types for us. And thank the Lord we are now no longer under the Law.
Beautiful! Thank you for an encouragement from such a dark account.
