And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2)
We all love to shop . We love it when we find that dress that fits us so very perfectly, those shoes that will work with all our outfits , a new necklace , a scarf and in yuma we just have to have those adorable sunglasses! What excites us even more than shopping is wearing that new item. We like showing it off so all can see and complement on it. But are we forgetting to put something on before leaving the house . . . . . . earrings , no I got those. . . . sunglasses no those are on my head. . . . . purse got that too . . . . hmmm I guess I am all set and ready to go. But as I walk out that door I wonder. . . . . did I remember to put on God ? Ought we not want to show off our Savior just as much as we want to show off our new dress ? We can wear our gentle spirit that is precious in our Lord's sight. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. (1 Peter 3:4). We can also be obedient to our husband. Believe me others will see our obedience to our husbands and to our Savior and they will see our love for His word . To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.(Titus 2:5) How about this weekend we try bringing honor to God as we live out His will and his Word. The putting on of a new outfit can cost us $30.00 or more but the putting on of God only costs us time. Time that is not ours to begin with. God has given us our time so that we may study His word and be able to put Him on , and give him the glory daily. Spend your time wisely. The Bible has many things we can put on for His glory! Way more than our closet does . Plus I can assure you those around us will benefit more from the time we spend in the Bible far greater than the time we spend in the dressing room. This thought gives me Joy!
