KEEP THE VOW YOU MADE TO GOD

KEEP THE VOW YOU MADE TO GOD

The psalmist, David, penned these important words, “Offer to God thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High.” (Psalm 50:4)

Too often, people are prone to make serious commitments (vows) to the Lord and then fail to keep them.  A wealthy oil tycoon lay on his deathbed as his pastor tried to encourage him by sharing the Word about God’s healing power.  That very sick man was desperate to be healed.  “Pastor,” he gasped, “if God heals me, I’ll give the church a million dollars.”  

Miraculously, the man fully recovered and in a few weeks was out of the hospital.  Months later, he and the pastor happened to meet downtown in front of a grocery store. “You know,” the pastor said, “when you were in the hospital dying, you promised to give the church a million dollars if you got well.  We haven’t received it yet.”

“Did I say that?” the tycoon asked. “I guess that goes to show how sick I really was!” 

We should never forget that God sees, hears and remembers everything that we do and say.

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
