WORSHIP

"Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?" (James 2:7)

 

James says that it is the rich (those who have no needs) that blaspheme (slander) the name of Jesus.  Most of us can relate.  In those times that we have no needs--we tend to wander away from the God of our salvation.  But take away our job, our health, our family, or our emotional stability, and we come sprinting back to Jesus.  You see, you don't have to say a word to blaspheme Jesus--you need only ignore Him.  And ignore Him we do, when we think that all is well and that we have no needs.  The opposite of slander is praise.  One way to insure that we're not slandering God is to saturate our conversations with words of worship.

 

Today, let us worship God whether we have a little or a lot.  Find a way to publically express your love for Jesus.
