“What Are You Wearing Today?”
by Dona Hake
One of the very first things we do in the morning is dressing ourselves for the day and it’s occasion. I am one of those planners so there are many evenings before I go to bed I lay my clothes out for the next day so my morning goes a little smoother. I believe the Lord desires that we are thinking about “clothing” ourselves in the many good things He desires. So I ask, what are you wearing in spirit today? Are you purposing to clothe yourself as one of His chosen?
Colossians 3:12 (CJB)
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people,holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
with feelings of compassion and with kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience.”
As we make a conscious effort to clothe ourselves in the fruits of who He is, we will truly be blessed. Face it, it is so easy to be nice to those that are treating us right, but difficult people can cause us to really get off track with our love walk. Before long we may be adorning ourselves with the clothing of this world, and this is not pleasing to our Lord. God’s way is always the higher way and as we react out of His love our clothing will be those that He desires. Let us purpose to remain clothed in His Spirit, and we will be blessed and we will be a blessing to those around us!
Proverbs 11:17 (TLB)
“Your own soul is nourished when you are kind;
it is destroyed when you are cruel.”
