Reverence for the Name of God

In the world of today, God's Holy and precious name, is cast around like it is void of meaning. The mockers and nay sayers speak of Him as though He's just a part of the imagination of believers or as if He is some idle object that can be discarded at the hint of displeasure. But their are a people today, a remnant group of followers, who love the precious and Holy name of God, who still have reverence for His Name.

God is to be held in the highest regard. His presence is magnificent, His Word is powerful and His Spirit gives strength to those who seek it. There are times when the Spirit of God is so heavy upon me that I can barely lift up my head to speak to Him, let alone even say His name; and it just baffles me how people today just toss around His name and even have the nerve enough to put the name of Jesus Christ, up next to Muhammed and Buddha. Last time I checked, Jesus is alive and is the Christ, the Son of God, there is no comparison.

And the disrespect continues on even further, we have people who say they love God, and say His Holy and matchless name out of the same mouth that vile and treacherous language spills out of. Where is the respect for God? If you love Him, you revere Him. Cursing and then saying His name or even using His name in the same sentence doesn't even match up.

The respect for God Almighty needs to be renewed. When you speak to God, when you say His name, do not hold Him as common; He is not common place. Don't fling around His name as you would a mere acquaintance name. Respect Him, Honor Him, Praise Him, Worship Him and have reverence for His Holy name.

God Bless
