BROKEN COMMITMENTS

“Let your yes, be yes, and your no be no.” Why is it so difficult for committed Christians to keep their commitments? It used to be when someone gave their word and shook on it, it meant they were honor bound to keep their commitment. That’s where that phrase ‘Word is bond’ came from. Nowadays, when someone promises me that they will do something for me, I automatically assume that they won’t. I think about all the broken promises I have made to my own son, and I know that I should do better. He does remember everything I promise him. I know I shouldn’t make any rash vows, but I do so much want to please and give me son things. Even worse is when I promise my wife to do something, and I forget to do it. And of course, the ultimate sin is pledging something to God, and not following through. Thank God my son understands if I cannot give him everything I say I would. My wife might be upset with me, but eventually she speaks to me again! LOL! Only kidding (sort of)! And God is a God of 2...
