Please read Numbers 30.

Meditate on verses 1b-2.

 

This is the word which the LORD has commanded.

 "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.”

 

Perhaps you are surprised when others keep their word, doing what they say they will do.  Perhaps you struggle with carrying through on promises, leaving others disappointed.  Meditate on these Bible verses:

 

For my mouth will utter truth; and

wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

All the utterances of my mouth are in righteousness;

there is nothing crooked or perverted in them.

—Proverbs 8:7-8

 

The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,

but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.

—Proverbs 10:11

 

The LORD is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.

—Psalm 119:57

 

Ask the LORD to help you be a person of integrity who keeps His Word and as a result, keeps your word, bringing righteousness, truth, and life to those around you.

 

Pray Numbers 30:2b over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, please make _________ and me people

 who do not violate our word.

Help us do according to all that

proceeds out of our mouths.

In Your name, Jesus~”
