Matthew 5:37
Jesus says, ” Let your “Yes” be “Yes” and your “No,” “No”. For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.”
Inspiration.
Jesus is telling us that we should not take oaths. We should just answer ” yes or no” and leave it at that.
As Christians our words should be trustworthy.
Prayer (for you)
Eternal God,
Thank You for Your Holy Scriptures that guides and direct, and lead me in the path of holiness.
Please help me to be trustworthy in my words, and in my character.
O Lord Jesus, You know that I need Your help each and every day to be pleasing to You.
In my thoughts, words and deeds.
Please help me to speak the truth at all times.
If I have sinned in my words, please forgive me and cleanse me and make me clean.
I praise and give You thanks for Your forgiveness, healing and restoration.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
