Listen to what God says about our commitments: “If a man vows a vow unto the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth." (Numbers 30:2).
“When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to ;pay it, for He hath no pleasure in fools.” (Ecclesiastes 5:4).
