FAITH CAPSULE: Consider the story of Jephthah.

Judges 11

In life, knowingly or unknowingly, an ugly and painful faulty foundation is possible to have a place in the life of one.
God is the only unchanging changer that will reverse any irreversible situation from ugly to beautiful.
The desire to experience from an ugly faulty foundation to a good and beautiful foundation by God shall be the portion of such.
The stretch out, the hand of God, is always in place to turn around a faulty foundation that man does not plan or demand as a way of life. 
What about your life? 
Are you experiencing a negative situation that is rooted in your faulty foundation?
Consider the story of Jephthah:
In the story of Jephthah, the Gileadite, he gained the title: A mighty man of valor despite the truth that he was a non-entity, one that was a son of a harlot.
As a son of a harlot, he got chased out of his father’s house. 
The faulty foundation of Jephthah (as a son of a harlot) was not his plan in his life. 
The faulty foundation of Jephthah was outside of his control; Jephthah was paying for what he did not bargain in life. 
Are you experiencing any analogous situation like that of Jephthah? 
The painful situation of Jephthah demanded a divine intervention to turn around his story. 
Without a doubt, his situation called for redemption. 
With God is redemption for Jephthah. 
In your situation, know and wait on God to experience how the Lord will change your story. 
God is the only God who waits to act for those who wait on Him. (Isaiah 64:4)
At the appointed time of God to turn the story of Jephthah for good, the Israelites needed a commander to confront enemies. 
The elders of Gilead had to go and seek Jephthah for help. Judges 11:6 record, “Then they said to Jephthah, ‘Come and be our commander that we may fight against the people of Ammon.’”
The story of Jephthah is the testimony of God that redeems where there is evidence of condemned.
By the doing of God, Jephthah, son of a harlot, became the needy one as a commander for his people.
Jephthah responded to the calling by his people 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?” 
The same God that set Jephthah to come from being rejected because of a faulty foundation, to rise for the glory of God shall not look away from you.
God, in His deliverance, His redemption plan, shall speedily locate you for good.
Jephthah accepted the assignment for his people and delivered victory for the children of Israel. 
Jephthah did not just end up as a commander, but he became the head for his people.
God that changed the story of Jephthah for good shall also change yours for good. 

Prayer for today: Ask that any faulty foundation in your life shall experience the visitation of God.
