Judges 11 - 21

-JEPHTHAH The son of a prostitute chased away from his father's household. He reminds the Moabites and the Ammonites that it's because of their stubborness that God struck them down. His daugther was the sacrifice of his stupid vow to God and he obeyed it. With his daughter's blessing! Wow! Be careful when you show a vow to people!

-IZBA, ELON, ABBON ruled over Isreal with no special mention

-SAMSON - A nazarene, a devotion to the Lord since birth, the stories have been told in various movies. But the funny thing is why did Samson tell Delilah his true secret if he saw that she was being deceitful? One reason can be attributed to this? Human weakness. In every man, there's a sinful and wicked side.

-MICAH Hires a priest for money which (1) The Priest's share was in the offerings (2) A combination Idols and God was never part of the plan. Then the Danites, who were looking for a place to settle, took the priest and other god images (forcefully) and made it theirs. And they became Idol worshippers.

- A LEVITE AND CONCUBINE - This is a very sad story of how low and how far the standard of God we can shift. The whole Israelite army attacked the Benjamites and defeated them (eventually). The Benjamites were almost wiped out and sorrow fell among the community. God being a just God, allowed that tribe to be rebuilt.

Amen

Such inner peace is the foundation of authentic behaviour that is not corrupted by compliance with fears, doubts and the corrupted opinion of others. The inner self is a world of self-discovery where the age old question is asked: Who am I? It is the world of seeking after the divine heritage that beats in our souls. The inner self is where we find the c...
