Day 32 - Vain Words

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.  Exodus 20:7

I don't swear, not even a little.  My swear words are "Crap" and "that sucks".  Ok, some might think those are swear words, but that's me.   I don't swear or use curse words.  Never did, and hopefully, never will.

But I did find that this dare still speaks to me.

I may not use the Lord's name as a curse word, but how often do I use His name otherwise? 

For example, texting...you know what I'm talking about...OM_!

When I'm exciting or surprised ... Oh my G___.

I need to learn to revere His name and keep His name holy.  His name is not a curse-word.  It's not a name for excitement. 

Father God - Your Name is above all names.  Your name is Holy.  The name of Jesus has so much power to heal, to save, to deliver, to set-free.  May I always be reminded of this, and only lift your name in Honor and Glory.  In Jesus' Name - AMEN!
