Today's Bible Verse: "Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah. He crossed Gilead and Manasseh, passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there he advanced against the Ammonites." — Judges 11:29
Have you ever felt like you needed to prove your worth or convince God to care about your struggles? Judges 11:29 reminds us that God's presence and purpose aren't earned through human approval or personal achievement. Jephthah had experienced rejection and hardship, yet God worked through his life when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. His story reminds us that our past and other people's opinions do not determine whether God can work through us.
