Have you ever been somewhere and thought you heard someone
call your name? I have; and I turn around and there’s no one. Then I go
somewhere else and I’m sure someone is calling my name. So I turn around again
and don’t see anyone, nor does anyone come toward me as if they know me. All
day long I kept hearing my name being called and all day long I did not see
anyone that looked familiar or identified themselves.
About the tenth time, I’m getting agitated. I can feel my
anxiety rise; however, I know that I cannot react out of speculation, so I keep
my composure and decide it’s time to get away from that area.
By the time I get home, I go over in my mind of how I heard
my name being called all day long and yet there is no one that comes forward or
says, “Hey Gwen, it’s me!” I know I
heard my name loud and clear because not many people have the name “Gwen”.
That is how God feels every time we use Oh My God (OMG) or
Lord. I’m sure He has answered us many times, just to find out, it’s a false
alarm too numerous to count.
The Word
says, “You shall not use or repeat the name of the Lord your God
in vain [that is, lightly or frivolously, in false affirmations or profanely];
for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain. Exodus 20:7 AMP
