Becoming the Woman God Wants, day 46

The Importance of Being Modest

She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he taked his seat among the elders of the land.
Proverbs 31:22-23

1 Timothy 2

   ¹I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
   ²For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
   ³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
   ⁴Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

 ⁹In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
   ¹⁰But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

In this chapter she gets very honest and real about modesty.  We need to cover ourselves!!  She also mentions that skirts below the knee are just more attractive and just look better.  There is no reason for a godly women to have a low cut shirt or short skirts in her closet.  Are we wearing things for the right reason?  We need to be clothed with dignity.  She also adds that if we are dressing seductively we are just has guilty as the men that we caused to lust after us. 

Affirmation:  I am clothed in fine linen and purple!
