There are little random things written
in the Word of God that seem out of place, random, misplaced but each word in
the Bible is breathed to life by God and has some meaning for us. In this verse
below in Acts, the word that caught my attention was ‘vow’. There are no
details about what this vow is. This is the one and only sentence about this
vow. There is no explanation regarding this vow but it isn’t about what the vow
was but about the promise fulfilled. God is the ultimate promise keeper and
perhaps He is showing us through Paul and his example that we too can make
sacrifices in order to fulfill our vows made. The promises of God can flow
through us to others. We can be the one who will sacrifice something, hair,
even our lives for the gift it may bring to even one lost soul.
Father, Convict me, give me courage, let
me be the light on your promises and all that you are, that those who are lost
may see you and be saved. Amen.
Acts
18:18… Before he
sailed, he has his hair cut off at Cenchrea because of a vow he had taken.
