Today’s Thought “More Than A Cuss Word” G. Ward

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.” Exodus 20:7

 

Autumn for many may represent a great love opportunity and particularly after summer’s hot and humid days promoted showering incessantly. Moreover it’s the tremendous prefacing for a most lengthy holiday season. There are many with contemplations of love that furthers potential enjoyment of every city scape appearing so festive. So the prowl begins. It more lends itself to a hunt without specificity, but more ideological. The objective is to not squash a contrived canvas etched in one’s mindset that embraces a subliminal portrait synonymous of a Norman Rockwell painting featuring them. The manifestation of their pursuit involves great conversation (cf. Mt.6:21); seeking, and then sharing similar objectives to life. If they were charged by the minute in telephone conversations, the debt incurred would finally visit full restitution in their 90’s. They’re desirous in knowing all the intimate details including ancestry along with historical accounts (cf.2 Ti.3:16-17). The affection developed becomes love.

If a love relationship with God is not an even higher pursuit, particularly after calling HIM LORD, then surely the MOST HIGH is terribly disgruntled at this one-sided, selfish, unloving, abusive relationship imposed unto one’s shallow pursuit (Lk.6:46). The husband who abuses his wife does so a number of times until a syndrome is then established. Knowing she won’t leave, but not taking that chance, flowers are soon to be delivered to her threshold, indicative of our infrequent worship (cf. Pr.1:24-28)…

Happy Monday!
