Becoming the Woman God Wants, day 47

Evaluate Your Countenance

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

Peter 3
     ³Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
   ⁴But 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.
   ⁵For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:

"You can read the character of a man on the countenance of his wife."  Our face shows the world what kind of man is in our lives.  If some of us are in unfortunate situations, God can help us reflect Him.  We have examples God gave us, like Sarah.  "You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear" (1Peter 3:6).  If you read about her you will see what she had to go through and how she over came.  Self-confidence is the trust we have in our own ability.  We need to put our confidence solely in God.  "Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame" (Ps.34:5).

Affirmation:  A gentle and quiet spirit makes me truly beautiful.
