Credible?

Daily Bible Reading: Numbers 30 – 31

Verse of the Day: Numbers 30:2 – “When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or sweareth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.”

Quiz time. When you make a promise to someone – do you ever break it? How often today do we look for legal loopholes to get out of something? If it is inconvenient shouldn’t we seek to get out of what we have promised? After all, God understands.

Well. According to this verse in the section we are reading, God expects us to keep all the promises we make – to Him and to others. You see, we need to make sure that we have a great credibility, and not keeping promises widens the gap of our credibility. We need to be motivated by the highest standards, and this is one of them. Integrity.

Prayer: God of Integrity, help me to make sure that I too am credible so that others will look and listen to what I say about You. Amen
