What’s Inside

Scripture: 1 – 2 In the same way, wives, you should patiently accept the authority of your husbands. This is so that even if they don’t obey God’s word, as they observe your pure respectful behavior, they may be persuaded without a word by the way you live. 3 Don’t focus on decorating your exterior by doing your hair or putting on fancy jewelry or wearing fashionable clothes; 4 let your adornment be what’s inside— the real you, the lasting beauty of a gracious and quiet spirit, in which God delights. 5 This is how, long ago, holy women who put their hope in God made themselves beautiful: by respecting the authority of their husbands. 6 Consider how Sarah, our mother, obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him “lord,” and you will be her daughters as long as you boldly do what is right without fear and without anxiety. (1 Peter 3:1-6 The Voice) I don’t want to be dowdy and not care about my outward appearance, but what is inside is so much more important to me. It has always been my desire to have a gracious and quiet spirit. I want that to be the real me. As I continue to respect my husband and put my hope in God, I hope to have more of the gracious and quiet spirit. Father, I do ask You to help me grow and become more gracious in my attitude and heart. You are so good to me and I love You. AMEN I will bless You, Lord, as You continue to guide me. I will not be shaken because You are right beside me. Psalm 16
