The cover of People magazine’s Most Beautiful edition displays a picture of Christina
Applegate. Flipping through the pages of the magazine will reveal her secrets to
looking as good as she does including diet, hair products, make-
The problem with beauty is that it is very subjective. It is true that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” However, the only eyes that really matter are the eyes of God. And the most beautiful woman in the eyes of God does not depend on the kind of hair products she uses or the shade of lipstick. It is the person of the heart.
Peter describes the most beautiful woman not in term of outer beauty with “arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel” (1 Pet. 3.3). Indeed such a woman can be beautiful on the outside, but have a character as undesirable as can be. The wise man describes such a woman as a swine with a ring of gold in its snout (Prov. 11.22).
The true beauty of a woman radiates from within. It is the “…incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God” (1 Pet. 3.4). This godly woman is full of good works (Acts 9.36). She is trustworthy as her husband and children can trust her (Prov. 31.11,12). She strives to be an example of godliness to those around her as she “…the younger women to love their husbands, to love their children” (Titus 2.4). She is an example to her husband so that “even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives” (1 Pet. 3.1).
In a world where appearance is most important quality in both man and woman, where magazines and television portray the beautiful woman as a picture of physical perfection, women are compelled to meet this unfair and unimportant standard. It makes the godly woman valuable not only intrinsically, but because of scarcity. No wonder the question was asked in PROVERBS 31.10: “Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.”
For those seeking to be truly beautiful, remember: “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised” (Prov. 31.30).
