Read Ecclesiastes 5:5-6 – It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
Making promises and not following up on them is wrong. When you give God a promise it would be best to not forget it or negate it in any way. He knows what you have committed to Him. That which we commit to God is no longer our own; it already belongs to Him. In the first place, all material goods God entrusts to you are only in your hands for you to oversee on His behalf. He lets you govern it to see if you will be a good manager or a thief!
