HIS NAME
Today's reading: Deuteronomy 4-6

"Do not misuse the name of the Lord your God. The Lord will not let you go unpunished if you misuse his name." Deuteronomy 4:2 NLT

I don't curse. That being said, I thought I could write this one of the 'ten' off my list of things to do.

But, alas!

My commentary has stated that not only should we refrain from using God's name (or simple words supposed to substitute--for example, gosh) in an unholy manner, but we should not fail to give Him credit when credit is due.

Therefore, my dilemna.

I do not give my Lord enough praise. I do not mention His name in honor often enough. I do not applaud Him publicly as frequently as I should, and He deserves.

Smearing His name is not something I do--overlooking His greatness, well, I'm guilty.
