Do we really have the reverence for God we should? We use things like "omg" sometimes without even thinking. We just "over-look" when His name is used in vain in movies and by others because thats just the way the world is theses days.
The scribes, when originally writing the scriptures down, showed amazing respect even for God's name. Jewish people were already afraid even to speak the name of God, but the scribes went over the top in reverence for God! While writing or copying the Hebrew Bible, anytime they came to God's name they would throw away the quill they had been using, go wash their hands 30 times, come back and with a new quill and write the name of God. They did this EVERY time God's name was written
Wow! Isn't that reverence even just for the name of God. What if we had just a portion of that? Let's go out and through today with the thought of showing God's love to others.
Oh and by the way, they washed 30 more times and used a new quill again after they wrote God's name.
