“However, the leaders replied to the whole community, We have sworn to them by Adonai, the God of Israel; so we can’t touch them.”
Joshua 9:19 CJB
Like the children of Israel, we need to be careful of making promises without knowing all the facts!
“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
Again we must be careful in what we promise and what we say!
“If you choose not to make a vow at all, that will not be a sin for you; but if a vow passes your lips, you must take care to perform it according to what you voluntarily vowed to Adonai your God, what you promised in words spoken aloud.”
Deuteronomy 23:23-24 CJB
In other words, we must keep our promises, making good on what we say we’ll do! So be careful on what we say and promise!
Have a blessed day praying about what we say!
