“If a man makes a vow to the LORD or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.” (Numbers 30:2)
Vows, oaths, and giving your word – these are all different ways of saying the same thing. Your word is a binding obligation. You are tied to what you say. Words aren’t just air transferred across vocal chords; they come from the heart, and they mean something.
Be careful what you promise to God and to man. Your word binds you.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
