Yesterday was such a sweet day for moms. I don't think it was possible to log on to a social media site without seeing someone doting on their mother. I was trying to find a verse suitable, and then came across this one late last night. It's simple, yet so much meaning is in this short verse.
"Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." (Proverbs 31:30 NKJV).
We live in a society in which a woman's value is placed on her outward beauty. This day and age a woman can even alter her looks so she remains "forever young" and "forever beautiful". The first part of this verse is simple, beauty fades and it can even be deceiving, so I have chosen to focus on the latter part. "A woman who fears The Lord, she shall be praised." Or:
A woman who TRUSTS in the Lord...
A woman who PRAISES the Lord...
A woman who LOVES The Lord...
A woman who LIVES in the Lord...
A woman who REJOICES in the Lord...
shall be praised
Let's be women (or men) whose beauty shows through our Godly work. Do people look at us and see Christ in our lives? If so, then we are forever charming and forever beautiful. People will look at us and want to know "our secret" and simply we can say "I am a child of God."
