Stick by what you say

“Saul heeded Yhonatan’s advice and swore, As Adonai lives, he will not be put to death.”
1 Samuel 19:6 CJB

As evil as Saul is, he made pledges and resolutions not to kill David, but never kept them, but instead continued to try and kill David! We need to be careful of making resolutions and pledges also!

“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

What ever we say we are going to do or not do, we should really work hard at keeping! “Let your ‘no’ and ‘yes’ both be righteous.”

“Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceiving talk.”
Psalm 34:13 CJB

On this New Years Day let’s be careful of the words we use and the promises we make!
Have a blessed New Year!

“Shanah Tova!”
