Numbers 30:2 If a man vows a vow to the LORD, or swears an oath to bind himself by a pledge, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
Deuteronomy 23:21 If you make a vow to the LORD your God, you shall not delay fulfilling it, for the LORD your God will surely require it of you, and you will be guilty of sin.
2 Corinthians 1:23 But I call God to witness against me—it was to spare you that I refrained from coming again to Corinth.
2) I should remember that my integrity is a tangible
Numbers 23:19 God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Psalm 89:34 I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
Proverbs 19:22b …it is better to be poor than a liar.
