Often when we become accustomed to beautiful scenery, relationships, or comfortable environments, we take those things for granted. They become so familiar. Perhaps that happens, also, in our relationship with God. In the routine of everyday living, we may lose our sense of who God is. Pastor Mike Harder continues the sermon series, the “Ten Commandments According to Jesus,” with today’s message on the third commandment: You shall not take the name of the Lord in vain.
Jehovah God wants us to honor His name in all that we do. Never should we use His mighty name for personal profit. We must not live lives unworthy of His name, because Christians are people of the Way. His great name is never to be evoked as a slur or a curse. Instead, we should be eager to live as people in awe of the Father while simultaneously being close to Him.
Is the desire of your heart Jesus? If not, it can be. You can always come home to Him.
“…Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.” Isaiah 26:8
