Vows
Matthew 5:33-34
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to an older generation, ‘Do not break an oath, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, do not take oaths at all—not by heaven, because it is the throne of God,
Vows
In my thoughts and in my longing
I commit to make some vows.
They have long been in the coming
through deep feelings as “I ought” somehow.
Are my vows just simple promises
which I forget in a hectic day?
Not to be taken to serious
and after time they’ll go away.
A vow to man, a vow to God.
Is there really any difference?
Maybe man forgets and God does not.
Is that than our greatest hindrance?
