Listen "Promises Matter"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat does it say about us when we break our promises? Ecclesiastes 5:5 delivers a straightforward yet profound truth: "Better it is that thou shouldest not vow than that thou shouldest vow and not pay." This wisdom cuts through our modern tendency to make commitments lightly and challenges us to consider the spiritual weight of our words.We live in a world where promises are broken daily. People commit without considering if they can follow through, speak without weighing the impact of their words, and break agreements without a second thought. Yet as believers, we're called to a higher standard—one that reflects the very character of our promise-keeping God. From His covenant with Abraham to the fulfillment of His word in Christ, God has demonstrated unwavering faithfulness. When we honor our commitments, we mirror this divine attribute in tangible ways.Your integrity matters more than you might realize. Every time you say "I'll pray for you" and actually do it, every time you show up when you said you would, you're building trust that extends beyond that single interaction. Your reliability becomes a testimony—a glimpse of God's faithfulness working through you. Think before you speak, honor your word even when it's difficult, and remember that the promises you make reflect the God you serve. When people can trust your words, they're seeing Christ in you. How will you demonstrate God's faithfulness through your commitments today?
