Sometimes, in our desire to please, we promise others things we cannot deliver.  It may not be intentional.  We may be sincere in our thoughts at the time.  But as life unfolds, the truth is revealed that humankind does not control all things.  The Master's hand is our strength, our truth, our ultimate delivery.  When you ensure your promises are grounded in the faith of God, you will be ready to move in any direction they may take you. 

My birthright, my cup is Yahweh; you, you alone, hold my lot secure. The measuring-line marks out for me a delightful place, my birthright is all I could wish. - Psalm 16:5-6
