Looking Your Best

    How we look becomes a great concern before we leave the house.  We want to make sure that our hair and teeth are brushed and our clothes are clean and neat.  We also spend an inordinate amount of time and money striving to make our appearance better.  We buy weight loss programs, have doctors remove wrinkles, and color our hair.     

     No one would argue that one ought not to be concerned about their physical appearance.  However, it is a concern when much time and money is spent on the physical while the spiritual man is ignored.  Peter wrote that we shouldn’t only be concerned with the outward appearance, “arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel.”  Instead the focus ought to be the “hidden person of the heart…which is very precious in the sight of God”  (1 Pet. 3.3,4)

    The inward apparel includes the putting on “tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering…”  (Eph. 3.12).  But more than anything else we must “put on love”  (Eph. 3.14).  How do we ensure that we are dressing appropriately before we head into our day?  Just as we look at ourselves in the mirror to see how we look, so also do we look into the mirror of God’s word and see the reflection of our character  (James. 1.22,23; 2 Cor. 13.5)

    The world may judge us based on how we dress physically, but God will judge us based on how we dress spiritually.  We cannot overlook the importance of spiritual dress for spiritual success.
