Your word should be enough

Just say a simple, 'Yes, I will,' or 'No, I won't'. Anything beyond this is from the evil one.  Mathew 5:37.

Your word is your word. This should be enough. There should be no need to embellish your commitment to do something. Your words also reflect your integrity, so you don't want to be known as someone who can't be depended on, who never does what they say they would do. Also don't let people pressure you into agreeing to something you don't want to do, it's better to say "no" and to stand firm than trying to be a people pleaser and saying "yes" when you don't intend to do it. Your words and actions should be in alignment. People should know you not only by what you say, but also by what you do. The love of Jesus should flow through both your words and actions. Praise God today that His Word never changes and as we become known as people who keep our word, we'll be blessed in all that we do.
