When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said.

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭30‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I don’t know about you but I have broken more covenants with God over the years than I dare count.

Vows to do this, pledges to do that, promises that come up empty.

Nearly all have been my best intentions defeaten by my worst compulsions.

The cycle can wear you down with guilt, shame, and an encroaching resolve to make fewer promises as the best solution.

Truth is, being in a spiritual battle for righteousness is, itself, the signal to God of your redemption, which in the end is what ultimately matters.

Continue making vows, that’s not the problem. The problem is how you’re going about keeping them.

The solution is found in the prayer for your process and skills to be more successful and to know in the meantime, God understands.
