Don’t Make Bargains With God | Judges 11

Vince Miller Show

Have you ever tried to cut a deal with God? ‘If You get me out of this… I’ll do this for You.’ We’ve all done it. But Judges 11 shows us how bargaining with God exposes insecurity and ends in heartbreak. Judges 11 tells the story of Jephthah, who already had the Spirit of the Lord empowering him for victory. But insecurity led him to make a rash vow, bargaining with God for what he already possessed. This chapter warns us that bargaining never secures blessing—trust in God’s promises does.
