God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 27 November 2012, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings and Lord of lords."

Today is Commandment Number 3 from God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 3: Exodus 20:7 "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."

The word "vain" here reflects the Hebrew term that is written in the absence of a distant vowel sound.  It means "emptiness" "vanity." The name of the Lord, "YAHWEH" occurs 6,828 times in the Old Testament.  This is the personal name of Israel's God.  It is NEVER used of a pagan deity.

God's name conveys His uniqueness; the very essence of who He is.  We are never to speak of the Lord or use His name as if it were unreal or unimportant.  We are to speak of Him with respect, as the One who has absolute priority in our lives.

Use of God's name in vain involved: (1) trivializing His name by regarding it as insignificant (2) trying to us  it to advance evil purposes by coaxing God to violate His character and purposes (much like the priest of false religions often used the name's of their false god's) and (3) using it in worship thoughtlessly.

We as Christians are to Honor, Worship, Glorify, and Praise His Holy Name.  We are to call upon the Name of the Living, True, and Almighty God with Dignity and Respect.  We are to stand in awe of His matchless Love and Grace and Thank Him Day and Night for what He does and will continue to do in our lives.  We need to Sing Songs of Thanksgiving to the Lord God as we stand in His Presence, and some day we all will be singing Songs of Joy all the day as we worship the One True God.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today.  Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, BUT I CAN."

Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
