Jephthah was given everything he needed by God to deliver God's people from the Ammonites. But he improvised. He didn't want God's grace. He wanted to earn the victory. So he made a vow to God, which had costly consequences.
The interesting thing is: God never approved or disapproved of the vow or its consequences. He was silent on it. He had already spoken and Jephthah ignored the word.
When we ignore God's word, our spirit does battle with God's Spirit. Let God win.
