"When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the
temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?" -Ecclesiastes 5:4-6
This is so true and so true with not only God but others. If you aren't going to say what you mean, then just don't say it at all. It's pointless. Because as you go on saying things you don't mean, your words become less and less credible. Words are truly meaningless unless you are able to back them up with action. So before you try to smooth talk someone or commit to something or someone, you better have actions to prove it and fulfill it. God really does bless those who can endure through life. Think about that next time you promise someone something or more importantly promise God something. Because he will never let you down, so why should you let him down if you know you can't do what you say?
