To Fear the Lord...

    "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name."
Exodus 20:17

    Do you know what it means to not misuse the Lord's name?  It is discussed in the bible to have a healthy fear of the Lord.  To fear the Lord means to revere Him and show deference and respect.  RESPECT!!  We should see that God's position is a high position.  His knowledge and truth is in higher regard than our own.
    Did you know that a Jew never uttered the name of God when reading Scripture aloud out of fear of the Lord?  That is some healthy respect right there.  Can you imagine if our children or even ourselves had that kind of respect for one another?  The world wouldn't be fighting for peace all the time that's for sure.
    This is where some interaction on your part comes in - what does a healthy fear of the Lord look like to you?  I look forward to seeing your posts! -CiCi-
