clothes and accessories

Ladies love to shop for clothes and accessories. They are especially concerned how these enhance their appearance. As a young person I was taught the importance of proper attire for every occasion.

God is concerned as well with our clothing and accessories. He has made His wishes in these areas very clear. His choices for attire will enable us to be the person both inwardly, as well as,
outwardly that will bring honor and glory to Him.

In Proverbs 3:3 we are told of two accessories. He tells us "do not let kindness and truth leave you...bind them around your neck and write them on the tablet of your heart."

The Apostle Paul tells the Colossians in Chapter 3:12..."put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." The final piece of clothing He tells them to put on is that which pulls all the attire together. It is found in Colossians 3:14, "and beyond all these things put on love."

Ladies check your appearance today and see what you are wearing. Are there any items that God desires for you to have worn that are missing? Ask Him to help you wear a wardrobe that honors Him.
