It’s always better to just do what you know needs to be done than to make promises. God always keeps His word and He expects you to do the same. He gets you out the trial, but instead of keeping your word you procrastinate and you try to compromise or you get selfish and find a way out. You tell God that if He gets you out this trial I’ll do this and that. It would have been better for you not to make the promise in the first place, than to break it. As Christians if we make promises to someone or to God we are to keep those promises.
