Proverbs 20:25
It is a
snare to the man who devoureth
that which
is holy, and after vows to make inquiry.
Our lives
are holy unto the Lord. We have been set
apart as His vessels and He has purposes and works for us. Our days are to be used to accomplish His
will and all that we do in His name is holy.
We must be so careful not to barge into commitments without considering
if we have enough to finish it. Like a
wise builder, we should assess our resources and see if we have enough to
finish it. Like a strategic military
leader we should take note of our troops and supplies to be sure we can go to
battle with a plan and a commitment. Our
vows, our commitments should be entered into with the questions being asked
before hand. This way, we can enter in prepared for the obstacles and
difficulties that await us in any commitment.
In our marriage vows, the commitments to being a mom or a job or
ministry responsibility all require perseverance and endurance. If we ask questions after the fact that we
should have asked before we entered into the commitment, we might find
ourselves vulnerable to the enemy’s suggestions to quit. Let us be those women who anticipate a season
and prepare for it. Let us ask the Lord
the questions we need to ask and trust His answers will equip us for the task
at hand.
