May 19
Introduction
Yesterday’s reading concluded with the Israelites discussing who would lead them in fighting against their enemy, the Ammonites (Judges 10:18). Today we read that they seek out Jephthah and ask him to lead them. Jephthah attempts to negotiate with the king of Ammon, but his efforts fail.
Today’s Scripture: Judges 11:27b
The LORD is the judge.
Today’s Reading
Judges 11:1-28
Reflect
How is Jephthah described in the opening verses (1-3)? Why do the Israelite leaders want Jephthah to lead them in their fight against the Ammonites? Why does Jephthah agree to their request? What was Jephthah’s message to the king of Ammon?
Pray
Holy God, teach us the ways of peace and reconciliation. May I speak no harsh words today. Guard my lips so that my words offer encouragement to others and reflect the goodness of your love. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those seeking to resolve disputes through diplomacy
Tomorrow’s Reading
Judges 11:29-40: Jephthah’s daughter goes out to meet her father.
