” and an under-fulfiller?
I tend to be that way and have gotten myself into trouble on any number of occasions by not doing what this person in the picture is doing and keeping track of what I’ve said I’d do. Then suddenly I’m being asked, “Did you do the so-and-so?” Gulp.
So I need to keep in mind three biblical instructions:
First, have the attitude of Psalm 141:3: “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips” (KJV)
Second, follow the words of Jesus: “Just say ‘yes’ and ‘no.’ When you manipulate words to get your own way, you go wrong” (Matthew 5:37 The Message).
And remember that there will come a day when all will be revealed and judged: “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken” (Matthew 12:36 NIV).
