Matthew 5:34-37 (Jesus speaking)
34"But I say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is THE CITY OFTHE GREAT KING. 36 "Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 "But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.
It's a good thing I haven't been making oaths on this diet. lol.
Seriously, though. How often do we (I) say "I'll start doing better tomorrow or on such-and-such a day"? I say it all the time. Do I follow through? Sometimes; until the temptation gets to difficult to give in to. We're not guaranteed tomorrow or such-and-such a day. We need to make our yeses and Nos true.
Have you been guilty of not following through? Me too. I'm not just talking diet. This could be any variety of things. Just pray for help and get to it.
Let's let our yes be yes and our no be no starting right now.
