“When he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, Oh, no, my daughter! You’re breaking my heart! Why must you be the cause of such pain to me? I made a vow to Adonai, and I can’t go back on my word.”
Judges 11:35 CJB
What a great warning here. We need to all be careful of making vows! When we make vows and promises, we need to make sure we can actually keep them!
“If you make a vow to God, don’t delay in discharging it. For God takes no pleasure in fools, so discharge your vow! Better not to make a vow than to make a vow and not discharge it.”
Ecclesiastes 5:3-4 CJB Verse 2 in other translations
Again, don’t make vows you can’t keep or don’t intend to keep, because when you do they will always come back to bite you!
“Just let your ‘Yes’ be a simple ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ a simple ‘No’; anything more than this has its origin in evil.”
Matthew 5:37 CJB
Today, let’s make sure what we say is what we can do! Make our ‘Yes’ a ‘Yes’ and our ‘No’ a ‘No’!
Have a blessed day in Adonai!
