What’s on the Inside?

As ladies, we spend a lot of time, energy, and money on our outward appearance, don’t we?

The Bible has a lot to say about how we should put ourselves together. Let’s take a look at this. 

We spend time in the shower washing our body, but are we washing our heart with the water of the Word of God? Ephesians 5:26

We put on our cutest outfits, but are we putting on the armor of God? Or the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit? Ephesians 6:11-18 and 1 Peter 3:4

Our makeup bag is stocked with products we deem essential, but do we remember that while man looks on the outward appearance, God looks at our heart? 1 Samuel 16:7

Our nails are nicely done, but are we working willingly with our hands to serve our Lord? Proverbs 31:13

Our teeth are brushed and we choose the perfect shade of lipstick, but are we choosing words that please the Lord? Ephesians 4:29

Jesus told the scribes and pharisees that they were hypocrites and that inside they were full of dead men’s bones. Ewwww. That just sounds gross, doesn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be perfectly put together outwardly only to be empty inside. Matthew 23:27. Proverbs 4:23.

Please understand, I am not against any of these things. We should look nice and put together. But let’s not leave our heart and spirit uncared for.

What is on the inside?
