Ladies, let this verse be your focus today. What a tragedy that we live in a culture that values the very things that only last for a short time while putting so little value on the thing that last forever! What would our world look like if women who claimed to be "christians" spent as much time each day learning from and living for Jesus as they do making themselves charming and beautiful? What would our culture be like if God's people actually valued godliness above external beauty?
Men, you are NOT blame free! Women tend to desire the affection and attention of men. Especially their husbands. When we value the very things that are not valuable to God, we encourage godlessness in our women. We are to model what it means to learn from and follow Jesus, not encourage the opposite. Choose to love what lasts. It might produce a happier group of women!
God will not be mocked. When we value the worthless things and honor things that are not honorable, we will all suffer. Look around. How are we doing? Are we reaping more happiness, joy and content relationships? I think not. It is definitely time for a change.
God help us all.
I wish I knew that in my heart when I was younger. It starts at home like many other things should. Us women need to seek for the affections and attention of our Holy God & Savior! May we encourage our daughters to do the same by living that out in front of them.
