FAITH CAPSULE: Are there challenges with no solution in sight?

Judges 11

In life, the story of hope is enough to encourage all, even through the most hopeless challenges.
With God is to gain a new lifting story for the glory of God.
Jephthah was illegitimate before his brothers.
Jephthah experienced rejection from his half-brothers.
Judges 11:2-3 records, “Gilead’s wife bore sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, ‘You shall have no inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.” Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless men banded together with Jephthah and went out raiding with him.”
Jephthah was in a challenging situation, which was not his desire.
His challenging situation was not within his control, but it was beyond his control.
Under heaven, on behalf of man, there is no challenging situation that is beyond the hand of God.
Are you experiencing any challenging situation like that of Jephthah? Today, hold on, trusting and hoping in God.
Wait on God regardless of how painful or challenging the situation is; God will not fail to intervene.
Jephthah, after being rejected by his half-brother, the children of Israel turned back to him for help.
When the people of Ammon confronted the Israelites,
Jephthah approached as a commander.
The elders of Gilead had to go and seek Jephthah for help. Judges 11:6 recorded, “Then they said to Jephthah, ‘Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the people of Ammon.’”
Whenever man condemns, God is in a position to redeem the condemned. Jephthah was a mighty man of valor, yet he was illegitimate and not accepted, and eventually helped his people.
Jephthah responded in Judges 11:7, “So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, ‘Did you not hate me, and expel me from my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?”
God made it possible for Jephthah to rise above and beyond where he was.
Trust and hope to count on God to bring you up above where you were.
God can never be too late or too soon; God will show up in your situation at His appointed timing.
Jephthah accepted the assignment to bring victory for the Israelites.
Jephthah did not just end up as a commander; he became the head after gaining victory.
The story of Jephthah was uncommon and adds to the glory of God,
and changed for good.
God is the only God who is in a position to turn a hopeless situation into a hopeful and glorious situation.
Engage by trusting and being hopeful to see the glory of God concerning your challenging situation.
Wait on God. He turns challenges into celebrations.
He reverses the irreversible.

Prayer for today: Pray to God that your challenging situation will be a triumphant story to the glory of God.
