You Shall Not Take The Name Of The Lord Your God In Vain

Hello Fellow Steemians!!!
We hear God’s name used so frequently today in sitcoms, movies, plays, and everyday conversations that it’s easy to forget how serious this commandment is. God’s name reflects his holy character. His name is sacred. How we use his name echoes how we feel about him. If we use his name in a curse or to get a laugh or in frustration, we’re showing that we have no respect for his holiness. God wants us to use his name in ways that reflect his godliness.
The Bible says, You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Exodus 20:7
English Standard Version

Whatever you think about eventually determines what you become. Your thoughts define your vocabulary and your actions. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A man is what he thinks about all day long.” But way before Emerson was on the scene, King Solomon told us in Proverbs that whatever we think about in our hearts shows up in our character.
Ask God to help you think about things that are lovely, pure, true, and honest so you’ll constantly be dwelling on the holy qualities of God himself. When you’re saturated with those thoughts, it’s difficult to take his name in vain.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, your language, your actions, and your life can all reflect the holy character of God himself.

Pray It!

Do you need to seek God’s forgiveness for any profanity in your life? He’s ready and willing to forgive. Be blessed and keep on smiling whenever and wherever you are. Have a great day everyone! God bless us all and again thank you for your time.🙂
