2. Make and keep promises to yourself.

Make and keep promises to yourself.

Do you strive to be impeccable with your word? Me, too. Although for a while I found that the first person I lied to was often myself. “I’ll start eating healthy tomorrow.” “I’ll get up and read my Bible early from now on.” “I’ll start plugging in my phone as soon as I get home from work instead of keeping it in hand or pocket.” But since I was accountable only to myself, I often reneged on this promises almost immediately. But, if I’m not keeping the promises I make to myself, why would I ever be trustworthy to someone else? I have worth in God’s eyes and He values the keeping of promises.

Psalm 89:34 I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
