Action speaks louder than words.
Ecc. 5:[4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.[5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Too many times we "make up our mind" about what we are GOING to do, but we never get around to DOING it. Going is an action meaning on a journey, in the process of, but not reaching the goal. If you are going to the store, it is different than you saying that you are AT the store. Do you see what I mean?
We need to make sure that when we decide that we should do something, that we follow through. I am very guilty of this. I get great big plans in my mind and in my heart that I know I should do, and the distance between my heart and my hands is not as easy to travel as one would think. God would rather us not make a promise to Him than to make a promise and to break it. Let us be careful every day to do what we say.
It is important that we keep our word most importantly to God, but also to others and even to ourselves.
Numbers 30:[2] If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

Let us all strive to DO what we DECIDE.
