Sometimes life leaves us wondering how a good God could allow painful or perplexing things to happen. The story of Jephthah is one of those moments. A man with authority, facing pressure and fear, made a vow to God that came from emotion, not understanding. No matter how strong our feelings are they aren’t always rooted in truth.Too often, we do the same. We act on what we feel, assuming it must be right or even spiritual. But emotions can be misleading, and decisions made from pressure can carry lasting consequences. Jephthah’s story invites us to slow down, to seek God's Word instead of rushing into vows or choices driven by impulse.God isn’t asking for dramatic promises. He’s asking for quiet obedience. His Word offers a clarity that emotions can’t provide. When we ground ourselves in truth, we walk in peace, wisdom, and freedom. Faith isn’t about how we feel. It’s about who we follow. And when we follow Jesus, we find a better way.Subscribe to Our Channel! New to LifeRock?
