"I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do."
1 Timothy 2:9-10
Paul is talking to the Christian women in the church who were trying to gain respect or draw attention to themselves by the way they dress. He's saying that women should dress appropriately in the house of the Lord, especially...
And not draw attention to themselves by what they're wearing but by their devotion to God and their good deeds.
It's so apparent in our society today, that women are more concerned with their appearance than their relationship with the Lord.
*Just as in Paul's time...
We often find ourselves desperately trying to impress others
by the way we look and dress!
And we forget that just like our actions,
our appearance is a very important way
of showing our devotion to the Lord as well.
We are to be different, set apart from this world!
Dressing Modestly and becoming more focused on the "inside"....
That should be our desire...
God deserves all the attention...
not us:)
Love ya'll! Strive to be Different!
