14 So she lay at his feet until morning and rose before one could recognize another; and he said, “Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.” 15 Again he said, “Give me the cloak that is on you and hold it.” So she held it, and he measured six measures of barley and laid it on her.

When you commit to something, whether it be to family, in business, or otherwise, make it happen. Now, that’s not to say that certain things take time or that something might not come up which needs your immediate attention.
