A Special Vow

Scripture Numbers 6: [2] “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: `If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of separation to the LORD as a Nazirite,

Observation: I may not make a vow to be a Nazirite, but I do need to make a vow of separation from this world and my sin to God. I’m created to be holy and the only way I can do it is by separating myself from sin. If I plan on making this vow I must determine what it is I’m going to do for God and what I will keep myself away from so it will be easier keeping my vow.

Application: I need to make a vow each day that I will set myself apart for Him and do what He commands me to do. I need to be careful not to be drawn into sinful discussions, actions or thoughts, but to be holy to my Lord.

Prayer: My Lord I make a vow to you to keep you first in all I do each day. That I will come to you and think before I act and ask for your guidance. I make a vow to please you with the rest of this life you have given me and that I will use it for your glory.
