30:1, 2 Moses reminded the people that their promises to God and others must be kept. In ancient times, people did not sign written contracts. A person's word was as binding as a signature. To make a vow even more binding, an offering was given along With it, No one was forced by law to make a vow: but once made, Vows had to be fulfilled. Breaking a vow meant a broken trust and @ broken relationship. Trust is still the basis of our relationships with God and others. A broken promise today is just as harmful a8 it was in Moses’ day. 30:3-8 Under Israelite law, parents could overrule their chiidren’s vows. This helped young people avoid the consequences Of making foolish promises or costly commitments. From this Comes an important principle for both parents and children. ung people still living at home should seek their parents’ help ten they make decisions. A parent's experience could save a itd from a serious mistake. Parents, however, should exercise ' authority with caution and grace. They should let chitdren from their mistakes while protecting them from disaster.
