Character!

For Wednesday, June 26, 2024:

1 Peter 3:3 NLT: “Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.”

Anyone can “dress to the nines” or get “all dolled up” if you have the right stuff. But that’s all it is – stuff! There’s nothing of substance in owning all the right stuff – nothing that matters, nothing of eternal significance.

God can see right through it all. He’s not impressed with fancy clothes, but he’s very interested in what’s inside! He’s looking for a loving attitude from a person of good character. It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing dungarees and a T-shirt!

God knew you in your mother’s womb, so he already knows you well, clothes or no clothes, hair or no hair. And fancy jewelry will stay on earth when you go to the next reality.

Do you revere the Son? Have you claimed Jesus as savior of your soul? That’s what will please God – unflinching loyalty to his Son!
