Words Spoken That Are
Above and Beyond

There are degrees of intention in what we say.

We can make a Pledge to donate to a cause - but not follow through, or make a Commitment to participate in an organization - but not act on that word. We may also make a Promise to someone to do something - but then break it, and even take an Oath in a court of law - but perhaps not tell the entire truth.

In all of these, there may be varying degrees of consequence, but when you make a VOW before God this is on a whole, Holy different level.

God’s Word Is Very Serious About Vows. They are not casual or haphazard but are a formal, solemn, binding declaration before God that are not to be taken lightly and thoroughly accomplished.

For example, a marriage vow is intended to be an unbreakable bond, and likewise when we make a vow to God it requires it to be done immediately, completely, and without delay. A vow is like glue that binds two things together that should never be unbroken. Just ask anyone that has been through a divorce who is sadly aware of this - because when we break a vow it is sin.

Broken vows ALWAYS have consequences.

Friend, be careful about what you say and what commitments you make! Thankfully, if we fail in our vows or in anything in this life remember that “...the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.“ (2 Chronicles 30:9)

Have you made a vow unto God that you have not kept? If so heed this Admonition AND Promise:

“Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
and in keeping of them there is great reward.”
Psalm 19:11
