Proverbs - Make Inquiries BEFORE

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.
