Exodus 20:7
"You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. For the LORD will not leave unpunished anyone who invokes his name in vain."
When I was in college, I would cuss and say gd in normal conversation, I didn't even know I was doing it. Thankfully I had a friend who was tired of listening to me so he began to repeat what I said. It didn't take me long to realize what was coming out of my mouth.
Using God's name in vain has no place in our language but it happens all the time. Help your friends or co-workers realize what they are saying. They do not need to be calling punishment upon themselves.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing us to see the error of our ways. Thank you for all that you do for us. May we help others hear what they say and change their vocabulary. You deserve known of it Lord, may we honor you with our lives this week Lord. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.

1 John 4:4b
"The one that is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
