Exodus 23:32 Do not make a covenant with them or with their gods.
Have you ever promised someone something just to keep them quiet? Did you know you were promising something you would not carry through?
We live in times where people make all manner of promises and then discard them before they are fulfilled; and yet we still accept these promises from others!
God made promises to us and has carried out every single one of them so far – there are more yet to come but we have to be patient for the right time.
Don’t follow the crowd and make empty promises or empty deals with people you know you will not get round to – it makes your God look bad!
