Charm is deceptive and beauty if fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
--Proverbs 31:30
New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
So many things we honor and exalt in our culture are shallow and temporary. The one thing that lasts in a beautiful woman is not her charm or her beauty, but her godliness. Let's make sure in our church families and our physical families that true and lasting beauty is clearly valued and amply praised!
MY PRAYER...
Holy God, please give us better eyes and more faithful hearts that we may value in all people qualities that reflect your character. Bless us as we raise our children that we may instill in them a sense of proper values as they choose their life partner. And dear God, please help us in our churches to value and praise women for their holy character. In Jesus name.
Amen.
