The world may try to make you believe that the more skin you show, the more womanly you are. But in your pursuit of maturity and a closer relationship with God, it probably does not surprise you that modesty is the trait of a godly woman. How you dress, what you put on display, and how you project yourself really does matter to God. He wants you to be modest, not because He wants you to be restricted or covered up, but because He wants you and others to respect who you are in Him. Today, listen to a well-balanced discussion on this topic of modesty and how it relates to godliness.
Rewards of Modesty
Father, show me how to become more modest in the image I project into this world. Let what I wear and how I wear it glorify You.
Do I reflect modesty in my dress and appearance?
Take some time to analyze your wardrobe, praying that God will reveal to you which outfits that you should no longer wear, and show you instead how He wants you to dress.
There are many blessings and benefits to being modest in your appearance. It pleases God and protects you from the wrong kind of attention. This is probably an issue that you and God should discuss on your journey to godliness. Let Him tell you what you should change in order to please Him.
You may also want to discuss modesty with other women in your church to hear their views. Discussing these issues with a group of trusted Christian women is an important aspect of being a godly woman. In fact, the next post will illustrate why mentorship among women in the church is so important to developing a mature faith.
