Thought 349
Let yes be yes and no be
no
“Again you have heard that it was
said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your
oaths to the Lord.’ But I say to you, do
not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is
the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white
or black. But let your ‘Yes’ be
‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil
one.” Matthew 5:33-37 NKJV
How
many times have you said something other than yes or no? Have you ever said
maybe? Take a moment and pray that the Lord helps you to apply this passage of
Scripture to your life.
