I went looking for something in Deuteronomy, not sure what I was looking for exactly, go figure that one out, looking for something and not knowing what I am looking for, pretty darn hard to find something when you don't know what you are looking for----Anyway, I stumbled over this hi-lited passage:
Deuteronomy 23:21-22
New King James Version
21 “When you make a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and it would be sin to you. 22 But if you abstain from vowing, it shall not be sin to you.
Back years ago I told God, "If You see me through these rough times---I will______________". To this very day I honor that vow, God took care of my problems in short order. Why did I keep that vow: #1---I gave my word, if my word is no good, then I am no good. 2---Now you may laugh, but I am dead serious when I say, I am afraid not to keep the vow I made to God, He is the last person that I want to be on the wrong side of. I never thought or considered it a sin to break my vow....but....many times I have thought on the above 2 things. At 1st there was a few times when the devil really tempted me to stray and at the time it sounded like the thing to do, but, then I felt thing to do was hang tuff, if things did not work out then reconsider......things always worked out....Finally the ole devil got pissed and left me alone. Now my thing that still hangs around is my tacky side, I work on it, but I swear, I am just tacky, but I do identify with tacky folks. You know Peter was not the best vocal person around, not comparing me to Peter, just say'n. I am not making excuses for my tacky side, but, just maybe I am what I am so I can identify with other unsaved tacky folks....I don't know, my tacky side really bugs me, yet, I see where it opens doors to serve.......NOW!!! If we have any preachers out there, any folks living right at the foot of the cross, well I am in a world of trouble......maybe honesty all the time is not the best policy. I do love this board. I have learned that I have a lot of friends which I have never met, will never meet, here & on fb also.
Went to a funeral this afternoon----I sure wish preachers would learn to do a good funeral....at this time they have a captive audience and what better time to share the gospel, forgiveness, salvation, a celebration of life and journey to heaven----at a funeral there are folks who have not been in church in a coon's age. My daughter back a few years ago ask me to please write out her funeral in the event she should go early in life or should God called me home.....I know everything to write----but---have you ever sit down to write a funeral service for a truly, close loved one, every time I go at it, tears run down my cheeks and my heart breaks----yes she is still here, but, a funeral service is the last earthly service....And she wants me to write it and if I am gone she will have someone else read it. POINT---it is so sad when a young one attends several funerals and decides that ain't for me----Daddy, will you do it right--- We got to stop missing the boat
