Read: Judges 11:29-12:15 The Need We are prone to trust our own wisdom, gifts, and strength instead of God and His Word, and our pride, anger, and rash words wound others and ourselves. Even those God uses remain flawed. Jephthah was Spirit-empowered, yet he spoke a foolish vow. Israel’s tribes had just been delivered, yet … Continue reading The God Who Works through Imperfect People
