Jusges 8-12 Jephthanuh....an interesting fellow. Tbe bible makes sure to mention that he was the son of a harlot. Because of this his brothers make him an outcast. But later they plead for him to come back so he can be a capt to defeat the ammomites. He decides to help them out and vows to sacrifice what he later realizes is his daughter if God promises to be with him. He conquers Ammon and then faces criticism from Ephrahim for not calling on them to help defeat Ammon. He then fights against Ephrahim and wins.

Observations...
1. Often thr world, even those close to us, outcast us for things we had no control over. I can choose to let that make me be bitter and hateful toward them or choose to forgive and even be willing to help them in their time of need.
2. God knows the price of our vow before we make it. I must be willing ro still follow through when it doesn't happen the way I planned.
