Read 1 Kings chapter 1 VERSE: 1 Kings 1:30–I will surely carry out this very day what I swore to you by the Lord, the God of Israel: Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he will sit on my throne in my place. TRUTH: David had made a promise to Bathsheba, but he hadn’t carried it out and she came to him and reminded him of his promise. David quickly realized that he hadn’t kept his promise.

VERSE: Numbers 30:2–When a man makes a vow to the Lord or takes an oath to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word, but must do everything he said. TRUTH: Do we take our vows as seriously as God takes them? I’ve heard people in desperate situations promise all kinds of things if only God will intervene, yet they can’t seem to remember or be willing to act on those promises when God comes through for them.
