What is a Promise Worth?

Text for discussion: Numbers 6.

Have you ever taken a vow?  Have you ever made a promise?  How seriously did you take that promise, or have you forgotten a promise almost as soon as you made it?  Numbers 6 is about making a vow and keeping it.  Our promises often get broken, but going even back to the earliest times of the world, God has kept His promises-millennia after He promised a Messiah, in the fullness of time, His Son was born.
