Keeping Your Vow

Scripture Numbers 30[2] When a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.:

Observation: Every day I tell God I’m going to be a better man for Him and yet everyday it seems I break that promise. When I make a vow to God it’s biding and I have obligated myself to keep that vow no matter what. If I promise this day I will do better than I need to search for a way to accomplish that goal. God has made me promises and has kept each one so you know he doesn’t take it lightly and that He is a God of His word and expects us to be people of ours.

Application: This should not keep me from making vows but to think carefully to know how I will accomplish them. I need to have a plan of doing what I say and be a man of my word and that I will take the actions needed to keep my vow to God and others. By me keeping my promises to others glorifies God to them, it’s just one of the attributes of God that we should be showing to others.

Prayer: My Lord I do what to make vows to you, but I need your help to keep those vows. Give me wisdom and the discipline to follow through with everything I say to you and others, that I will be a man of my word and a lover of you.
